"Directed by the Danish master Carl Theodor Dreyer, Ordet is yet another film made in 1955 to which I’m deeply indebted. There is a stunning scene of literal resurrection that inspired my own visual approach to The Exorcist and gave me the courage to stage a supernatural event as if it were actually happening, without scary lighting or weird angles. Like many of Dreyer’s other films, including Vampyr and The Passion of Joan of Arc, Ordet is based on literary source material (in this case, a play). But all his films are deeply spiritual in their examinations of the mystery of faith, and purely cinematic."

Speedy Action Thriller
Well we have a remake here of an old Danish film. Not aware of that film but this is pretty much much an all out action, loud, big, crazy fun film. Mixing Den of Thieves with Speed kinda vibe. After a Bank heist goes awry 2 robbers highjack an ambulance to make their escape. Then we have the long pursuit. Despite the long run time the action rarely lets up with some great cop chase scenes and enough of a story to make it interesting. Not ground breaking by any means but you'll enjoy the ride.
