(aka "Rejseholdet" or "Unit 1")
directed by Niels Arden Oplev, Jørn Faurschou, Peter Flinth, and
Charlotte Sieling
Denmark 2000
Head of Special Cases Ingrid
Dahl (Charlotte Fich, HEADHUNTER) runs into no small
amount of resistance and resentment when she is appointed
head of the National Police's mobile Unit One by chief Ulf
Thomsen (Erik Wedersøe, IDIOTERNE) at the behest of
female police commissioner (Susse Wold, THE HUNT).
Her first case is investigating the murder of its previous
head Torben (Bendt Hildebrandt, THE SECRET WEAPON),
and she does not endear herself to the others - particularly
crime scene officer Thomas La Cour (Lars Brygmann, THE
CELEBRATION) and detective inspector Allan Fischer (Mads
Mikkelsen, TV's HANNIBAL) - when she entertains the
press' theory that Torben was the victim of a gay sex crime
since he was living with his daughter's godfather; however,
acting captain "IP" Sorenson (Waage Sandø, WINTERBORN)
is surprisingly supportive and information officer Gaby
Levin (Trine Pallesen, TV's THE KILLING) is glad to
have another female around. As the case progresses, we
discover that Ingrid isn't the only one on the team whose
personal life suffers in a job that requires them to be away
from home at least two-hundred-and-twenty days out of the
year. |

Comments |
Arrow Films presents the nine episodes of the first series on three dual-layer discs. Picture quality is okay given the gritty look of the film, and there are some occasional moiring and banding on fine patterns in the production design and on location (this may either be a fault of the encoding or of the circa 2000 digital masters). The Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo audio is problem free, while the optional English subtitles also transcribe some bits of foreign dialogue (that is later translated in the Danish dialogue and English subtitles). There are no extras. |
