I lagens namn (1986)
9/10
The tradition of Swedish crime thrillers continues
26 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This Guldbagge winning feature is definitely a standout in the tradition of Swedish police films, and Kjell Sundvall can proudly put his feature alongside other incredible films such as The Man on the Roof or The Man from Mallorca. Or even his own later iconic features.

The script is ever tight and suspenseful, perfectly paced and very exciting. It is beautifully cut and editing, featuring some great action scenes, as well as lots of heatfelt and well-written drama.

The actors, all of them great iconcs in the Swedish filmography, all do an incredible and career defining job. All of this accompined by the ever great script, of course.

Overall, truly an incredible film that stands out in the Swedish filmography to a great deal, with is my no means a faint praise, given the land's expertise.

Very much recommended for any lover of film, and the crime genre!
