Their neighborhood becomes a storm of Molotov cocktails and marauding bands of vigilantes looking for any officers to punish. In “Enforcement” there are no good cops, especially for the rightly fed-up Muslim community. Jens also refuses to provide the testimony that’ll put Mike behind bars for police brutality.
While Jens would like to think he’s different from Mike, he doesn’t stop his partner from harassing Amos (Tarek Zayat), a teenager who once played on the police youth soccer team. When an already oppressed Danish neighborhood learns of the boy’s death, everyone in the projects of Svalegarden turn against the patrolling Jens and Mike.īearing similarities to the director Ladj Ly’s cop drama “Les Misérables,” “Enforcement” from the writer-directors Frederik Louis Hviid and Anders Olholm is a cop action film with deep sociopolitical themes. The pair, nevertheless, do share one commonality: They were present the night their colleagues sent a young Muslim teenager to the hospital. Jens appears squeaky clean while Mike lives on the verge of rage. Jens (Simon Sears) and Mike (Jacob Hauberg Lohmann) are temperamentally disparate cops. Watching their easy chemistry intertwine is worth the price of admission. Lundgren takes pleasure in stretching his dramatic muscles. While the open corridors of the clinic allow for simple, effective set pieces for the film’s unrestrained gunfights, the leading men are the draw: Adkins’s moodiness reflects a down-on-his-luck loner. The three compete to recover the loot before the building is detonated.ĭirected by Lundgren, “Castle Falls” loops a heist flick setup through a buddy action frame as Wade and Ericson serendipitously become partners, making for a charming odd couple. A brutal drug dealer (Robert Berlin) is in pursuit of the money, too. In return for protection, an inmate clues in Ericson to a stockpile of money hidden underneath the hospital. Ericson (Dolph Lundgren), a distraught prison guard, needs $400,000 to get his daughter a life-extending transplant. He finds himself drifting to a temp job scavenging for scrap metal in an abandoned hospital. Mike Wade (Scott Adkins) is an ex-fighter who didn’t quite possess the killer instinct to become a champion.
