R 9 Not convinced if I like this one or not. Mads Mikkelsen's performance is definitely a part I enjoyed, he is excellent throughout. The rest of the onscreen talent, e.g. Kirsti Torhaug and Alexander Skarsgård, are good too - bar one. That one member of the onscreen talent that didn't enthrall me is Samuel Fröler - lousy. No hate on the actor necessarily, but he just didn't fit the role in my opinion... needed someone more menacing. So, Fröler is one negative... but not the only one. The way the plot unfolds irritated me at a few moments, most notably at the point involving Henrik Noél Olesen's Preben; to avoid spoiling, all I can say is: as if! It's not perfectly written, at all... even dumb in parts. I can always ignore it once or twice, but I found myself disliking a few moments every now and then. Rating-wise, it's 6/10 or 7/10 - the former feels harsh, the latter generous. I think Mikkelsen's showing just about tilts it into the higher score. I likely won't revisit, though I guess you could do far worse. 'Exit' is an OK watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Really good movie. Saw the main male lead in 'The Door' which was also excellent. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Mads Mikkelsen is solid as ever in this thriller which just about manages to keep your attention throughout. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member As always, Mads Mikkelsen is brilliant and Alexander Skarsgard is in this film too which gave me even more incentive to watch it. I have not seen too many Swedish films, but this one was alright. It was good and had a pretty cool premise, but I don't know, I find it may be a bit forgettable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Exit Is An Atmospheric Slow-Burn Thriller Which Works Extremely Well. Although The Plot Is Something That Has Been Overdone In English Speaking Films, It Still Manages To Be An Extremely Entertaining Film Which Is Worth A Watch For A Fan Of This Genre. Mads Mikkelsen Gives An Outstanding Performance As A Normal Man Trying To Prove His Innocence. Alexsander Skarsgard Though Not As Good Performance As Mikkelsen, Skarsgard Just Seems Bored To Death Throughout The Whole Movie Until It Comes To His Final Scene Where His Facial Expression Changes. All In The Writting, Direction, Casting, Editing And Music, Not To Mention All The Other Departments Of The Film's Production Were Spot On, What We Have Is An Excellently Atmospheric Slow-Burn Thriller That Is Great & Is Better Than Most US Films I've Seen Of The Same Genre. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Silly, contrived, convoluted Danish thriller. Bad. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
