Leah Pickett Chicago Reader 07/28/2016
Set in Scandinavia and featuring a sullen male protagonist, it's violent, hard-boiled, and psychologically disturbing. Its antihero, a clench-jawed police detective, also embodies a belief that individual goodness might be enough to prevail. Go to Full Review
Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 06/23/2016
"A Conspiracy of Faith" marks the darkest and most gripping screen adaptation of the Jussi Adler-Olsen novels to date. Go to Full Review

Sure, you could point out a few shortcomings here and there. But those sins are easy to overlook. Go to Full Review

amy b 04/12/2024 Great performances all around, but especially from Nikolaj Lie Kaas and Pal Sverre Hagen. Hagen, against type, is convincing as terrifying serial killer. See more Jesper L 07/15/2023 If you don't compare it at all to the book it's a good film at best. Compared to the book, Carl Mørck looses everything that made him different from every other run at the mill washed up detective. What drives him, is taken from him, his relationship with his ex-wife is just changed to the same lame trope as every other male representative on tv. It doesn't bring anything new, just more of the same that other movies do, it's good what they do, but just the same. TL:DR Fine movie what they do is good, but nothing new and exciting.. See more Wolfgang G 09/20/2022 Erlösung ist ein Thriller von Hans Petter Moland (Regie), das Drehbuch dazu schrieb Nikolaj Arcel. Es handelt sich um eine Verfilmung des gleichnamigen Romans des dänischen Schriftstellers Jussi Adler-Olsen. Carl Mørck (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) und Assad (Fares Fares) er mitteln in einen Fall in dem es um Kindesentführung in einer Sekte geht. Der Film fesselt von Anbeginn bis zum Schluss, die Schauspieler sind überzeugend, besonders die Leistung von Pål Sverre Valheim Hagen als Johannes. Dieser skandinavische Krimi ist hervorragend inszeniert. See more Andrew P 06/18/2022 A painful movie, but it's beautiful in its pain. In a godless world, you can be a bringer of despair or hope, a killer or a homicide detective. Perhaps, in the wake of a number of mass shootings across the US, we can choose to bring hope instead. See more 12/10/2021 This one is indeed the best of the series. A thriller and a mystery (more of the former) juxtaposed brilliantly against both the nihilistic and religious views of life. See more @jeroduptown 08/21/2021 Best of the series: Conspiracy of Faith introduces missing children all tied to a small church. It begins with a message in a bottle that was written in blood.
