tareq9 I've read all the other reviews and I think some other reviewers are speaking about a different film.This movie was very comfortable to digest. All of the characters were realistically portrayed . Artistic harmony between acting and script.This movie is definitely more real and more believable than many other top rated action movies. Maybe "Traitor" (2008) has a close realistic plot. The direction was of high caliber and extremely professional which keeps the viewer engaged . All of the action went off very realistically. The twists will leave an impression, so be observant while tuning in.
Leofwine_draca HAMILTON: IN THE INTEREST OF THE NATION is a Swedish international crime thriller along the lines of the BOURNE trilogy, which it references throughout. The main character is a Swedish spy who travels around the world performing difficult jobs for the Swedish government, so a little like a Swedish Bond too, and the quality of this film is just as good as the recent Daniel Craig-made Bond flicks.Mikael Persbrandt (THE HYPNOTIST) is a tall and imposing choice for the protagonist, very Swedish, very calm and assured...and deadly, of course. Apparently this film is based on a long-running series of spy novels and I hope to see more of the same given the quality of this movie. HAMILTON plays out as a gutsy, realistic thriller set in the world of international arms smuggling, in which massacre, terrorism, and bombings seem to be almost daily occurrences.Films like this thrive on their action scenes and the ones that take place in HAMILTON are superior: well shot, with none of the shaky-cam work where you can't see what's going on. The cast give assured performances, especially the always-entertaining Jason Flemyng, who gives one of the best acting jobs I've seen from him. There's not a great deal of fighting in the movie, but the suspense remains high throughout, especially during the fantastic tension-filled climax. Plus look out for that incredibly gutsy plot twist early on: can you imagine a Hollywood film having the nerve to pull that off?
agapesophy In the nation's best interest is tragic, and entertaining. manslaughter is not the same thing as first degree murder, accidents happen and beautiful woman die,which makes this movie horrible. Other than that it is rather entertaining, it is funny to see justice, the guy kills people in self defense all day long, yet it have nothing to do with justice, the guy kills someone accidentally and it have nothing to do with justice. Justice is what you make it, I think the movie shows the superficial nature of the action hero, showing nothing he does as truly meriting existence, but the fact that people allow themselves to be a part of the superficial existence where violence is required both the hero and the bad guys allow themselves to be a part of it. This action movie seems to show this intentional as some moral or ethic, it does not show the protagonist as some hero, instead just guy who has a rather meaningless violent existence conditioned by his meaningless environment to be dangerous as if he were not responsible. A type of helpless violent existence. The movie is both realistic and crude.
b_dalum Exciting, good acting, scenes full of atmosphere. I hope to see more of Michael Persbrandt and the crew. I like the bad guy, really bad. Also in Mouna there are interesting perspectives. So. Wish the movie was longer - I would like to know the characters better... Shares some of its qualities with the new Bond-movies, ethically, aesthetically and Plot-wise. Well done by the female director! And by the way: High-level sound-work and music. I think that some of the mediocre reviews are connected to the fact that the movie is a threat to established concepts like 007.. So please - go on develop the unique Hamilton-concept.
