The new night watchman (Coster-Waldau) at a morgue

The new night watchman (Coster-Waldau) at a morgue experiences visions while doing his rounds. When a serial killer begins to murder hookers, he becomes the prime suspect. That's what he gets for having sex where he did! An enjoyable mystery thriller excepting it may be too easy to decipher who the killer is. Some moments of dark humor as well.

A character centric Danish Giallo. I really like

A character centric Danish Giallo. I really like the idea of these loveable goofs getting caught up in a serious murder case. The grounded performances ensure you're rooting for all the right people.

Ole Bornedal´s somewhat haunting dark and "realistic" thriller

Ole Bornedal´s somewhat haunting dark and "realistic" thriller "Nattevagten" (aka Nightwatch) from 1994 is seen as a classic Danish film. The underlying themes such as sex, death, unfaithfulness, love, necrophilia, self-destructive behaviour and the instinct for survival are clear, but when re-seeing "Nattevagten" the flaws in the film are quite obvious to me. The storyline suffers from several illogical actions from the main characters which hardly win you over to cheer for them as they are not of the smartest kind. Besides that, the acting form the main cast are not all that convincing and the direction leaves you a bit unsatisfied. It's a slightly disturbing film with an intriguing vibe, but it could've been much better from several levels. It feels like a true b-movie today when watching it. Then again Ole Bornedal has said himself that "Nattevagten" was not "a great work of art, but it did help legitimize the idea that even European film art can make good use of generic stories."
