Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Guy KING'S GAME is a political thriller about a journalist who becomes involved in a plot by a politician to destroy his rival. A number of plot twists ensure that the film is compelling, although it isn't particularly difficult to work out who the goodies (women, anti-Establishment types) and baddies (men, Spin Doctors, the Establishment) are. Special mention must be made of the lighting which is superb, capturing Denmark in a variety of metallic blues, greys and greens, that really capture the mood of the conspiracy. The troubling relationship between politicians, journalists and spin doctors is well illustrated even if the film offers no solutions. Adult, sparse, with a commendably spartan attitude to dialogue and a cynical attitude to politics, this is a very enjoyable Euro-thriller.

godskin The Plot: A journalist uncovers a political conspiracy in the weeks before a general election. The Idea: The movie brings nothing new to the genre, except maybe for the fact that it's Danish, therefore the first(for me) European political thriller. The Feeling: It kinda seems like it has been cooked after the Hollywood recipe for suspense, but that's not so obvious as to kill the fun. A great movie to watch on a boring afternoon. The Actors: No comment The Quote: "Remember that photo from Sudan that got an award two years ago? A little girl in the sand, emaciated. Skin and bones. And right behind her there was a vulture, waiting to eat her."

revolutioner I really enjoyed this gem when I caught it at a festival. The film is very well crafted. Tight direction, brilliant lighting, and shot after shot was just sparkling and a pleasure to watch. The story holds your interest throughout and although you're not forced to hold your breath in suspense, you ARE looking forward to where it is going. The performances are all believable but an actor named Anders W. Berthelsen carries this film on his back! If this guy can speak English, he's the next great American character actor. Meanwhile, I'll settle for subtitles.8/10

Graeme Qewe I always knew, that this movie was one to watch, and one which would be of interest of me, so when I got the chance to see it, I didn't let the opportunity miss. But never did I know, of how great I would find this movie. Mainly, you see movies, which you find good, bad or indifferent, but rarely you see movies that are truly captivating as "Kongekabale" was for me. I guess it depends on what kind of movie you like. I like movies, where I can't predict it all, with complicated plots, that you sit and try and figure out, while watching. And all this I got with "Kongekabale".It's about a reporter getting a leak about the husband to the woman who might get in power after the next election. But that's just a layer, the top of the iceberg. It suddenly evolves to a huge amount of layers of lies, cheats and people that literary would kill for power. And the spiderweb just evolves and evolves.The movie is based (although in exaggerated form) on real events, and even though the plot is exaggerated, it surely sends a message about current politics all over the world, and how people behave with power.The actors play well, and the directing and script is top notch. The movie is perfectly balanced, and also some remarks makes you laugh on occasion, without it sounding odd or out of place. And the ending itself is so amazing, that I couldn't believe it.A masterpiece. Watch it!
