Too violent
Just watched on Netflix very violent thriller with the always watchable mads mikkelsen some of the violence was for me a bit ott very violent but what did I expect from the star of hannbal but did not think much of Matt lucas as the villian of the movie definitely worth a rewatch

It's unusual for me to watch a movie with subtitles at the cinema but this is a rare time. Anyway for a movie that deals with alcoholism and the effects on four teachers is excellent with standout performance from mads mikkelsen speaking in Danish which didn't bother me and for once not playing the villain which he seems to do alot of. Overall good movie worthy of its Oscar win this year

Mads mikkelsen
After watching the sequel Sunday night thought I would go back and watch the first one again I liked the first time benedict cumberbatch plays the title character very well with support from an excellent cast. The visual effects are so good and there's mads mikkelsen who is forever type casted as the villain but plays it so well anyway good first but the sequel is now my favourite doctor strange movie

Excellent Show
Great show because of the cast and the artistic style. Mads Mikkelsen is amazing as Hannibal Lecter and he definitely scared me. The show always had me on the edge of my seat until the very end. I was pretty bummed when the show ended, but I still watch it again every now and then because it is that good.

Stranded In The Arctic
Arctic- is a excellent survival movie. It puts you in Mads charcters shoes. What would you do if you got stranded in the arctic? What would you do to survive? Its suspenseful, dramatic, and overall a survival of the fitnest movie.
The plot: A man stranded in the Arctic after an airplane crash must decide whether to remain in the relative safety of his makeshift camp or to embark on a deadly trek through the unknown in hopes of making it out alive.
If you haven't seen or heard of this film than i highly recordmend watching this movie.

382. The Salvation. A bad-ass western featuring Mads Mikkelsen! Jon Jensen has been waiting for his wife and son to make their way to America during the 1870s. Jon has been there for a while building a life. And on the very day they arrive, they are murdered. Jon takes swift action and violently kills these two pieces of shit. Unfortunately, one of those pieces of shit has a big brother named Henry that pretty much runs the town through fear and taxes. So when Henry hears of his brothers murder, he wants his own revenge. And sure they go out and find Jon pretty easily and take him in. They quickly realize that a man with nothing to lose, is gonna fight back! Like I said Mads is awesome! Jeffrey Dean Morgan is great as the bad guy Henry. And Eva Green, sure she doesn't say one word in the movie, is freaking great! Like Westerns? This is one to check out!! Filmbufftim on FB

Could’ve been so much better
Right from the start, this film is an absolute mess. It’s so garish and in your face, and not in a good way. It’s never good when the opening scene makes you turn your nose up in dislike, and sadly the rest of the film never manages to get past this.
The main problem is the villains. Yes this is based on a comic book, but is that an excuse for having such vile looking and plain bad villains. They are all horrendously bad characters and beyond irritating, although the worst is by far the boss villain played by Matt Lucas. I do like Matt Lucas, but I’ve come to realise he’s only good when he’s playing silly sketch characters. Which is what he’s doing here, but it’s out of place and far too cheesy. He doesn’t make for a menacing villain and although he’s laughable, it’s not in the way intended.
Mads Mikkelsen is the only real reason that this film is watchable. Every time he’s on screen the film becomes as enjoyable as it can be. It’s a shame really as there is potential buried in this - the plot as a whole isn’t bad, and I like a lot of the fight scenes that Duncan is in and the gory bits too. It’s just a pity they made it so damn garish and cheesy. If they’d have tried to make it a little darker, maybe a little like Sin City or something, it could actually have been quite good and have lived up to all of Mads Mikkelsens scenes.
Unless you’re desperate, I wouldn’t recommend watching this. And if you’re a Mads Mikkelsen fan, you’d be better off choosing one of his better offerings than this!

Dark and disturbing
This is definitely not an easy film to watch, but it really is very good. It's a stark and difficult to watch tale about the repercussions of lies in a close knit Danish tale. It deals with some very heavy topics and yet doesn't shy away from the subject matter in question, to the point where it's almost too difficult to watch. But this is why this film is so good, it hasn't Hollywood-ised such a difficult subject and instead you can really believe everything that happens.
It's helped of course by a brilliant performance from Mads Mikkelsen. His quiet mild mannered Lucas is a million miles away from what he gets accused of, and Mads' performances itself is very restrained, which is exactly what this film needed. This paired with a subtle score and well done cinematography make for a very haunting watch.
This really has a stark point to make about the judgemental nature of society, and it makes it very well, even if it is disturbing to watch.
