movie review - In Order of Disappearance

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2019.05.08

This is the story of a snow-plow driver from a mountainous area of Scandinavia. His son is killed, and he devotes his life to unmaking the crime syndicate responsible. A sort of Norse "Death Wish". Which would be "Dødsønske". His quest leads him to trigger a war between a domestic gang and a second band of violent thugs from Serbia*. It's entertaining and that's the point.

Recommended. For an evening's escape.

*This gang is led by Bruno Ganz, the guy who played Hitler in that bunker scene/meme.
