Most of the younger generation of male danish actors prefers to speak with their mouth closed, so when I watched this flick, I had turned up the volume on my Bose speakers connected to my Sony Bravia TV. That didn't help much, especially when the carachter Assad spoke. I think I missed at least 50% of his dialogue. Ulrich Thomsen is not a bad actor and when he portrayed the danish diplomate, Henrik Kaufman, in the movie " Vores mand I Amerika" ( Our man in America), he proved that he is able to speak so everybody can understand him. That movie takes place during WWII and the time after and perhaps that why he opend his mouth and spoke so everybody could here what he said. In those days people opend their mouth when they spoke! Method acting my bare a...!
How did I like it besides the mumbling issue? I fell asleep in the middle of the movie and woke up to find out that I hadn't missed a thing. If Nordisk Film doesn't find a way out of this disaster with several plot holes, in this their first outing with Ulrich Thomsen in the lead, I think they will have to give up their options on further films with Dept. Q. Hey, I noticed that the German tv-network was one of the executive producers. That means when it's shown on ZDF next year dubbed in German, I will have a chance to hear what they are talking about because down there they speak like they have the last 100 years - loud and clear!
