A crime drama, based on real events, in which an armed robber holds up a bank in Stockholm in 1973, and takes hostages who develop an unlikely bond with him.
Ethan Hawke has fun in this fictionalised and flawed take on a notorious real-life heist.
Hawke brings the big energy, but the whole thing just falls flat.
Ethan Hawke and Noomi Rapace star as villain and hostage in this fictionalised version of the bizarre robbery that gave birth to term Stockholm syndrome.
The ever watchable Ethan Hawke is the best thing in this crime caper. It’s uneven and lacks the power of its premise but always manages to keep your attention hostage.
