A single-minded ambition that the ruthless lord of the region will relentlessly seek to put down. Kahlen's fate hangs in the balance: will his endevours bring him wealth and honour, or cost him his life...?

Good acting, watch with Danish language!! Good story line, worth watching!!

Mads gets real mad in the 18th century Danish Wild West. Does he ever disappoint!? Great supporting cast. Watch this.

I enjoyed from beginning to an end. Great costumes and acting.

A film that is hard not to like. Deep characterization and stunning Nicholson. Well made and dramatic enough to follow Story and characters

The atmosphere, plot, every single thing is breathtaking. Danish cinema has so many gems. Well done.

Well made movie, great cast and great story.

50% western, 50% historical film, I loved the juxtaposition of man against nature. Visually beautiful. Loved Mad Mikelsen as always.

Great cinematography and performance from Mads Mikklelsen.

This was hard to watch, and It’s a great movie, but the injustices get into my nerves.

Mads proves he's capable of and type of genre.
