Let's face it...Department Q died when they changed the cast after the fourth movie. This latest movie just doesn't change that fact. I am very disappointed! The plot is thin and the excitement and humor is absent. I was not entertained and I have no idea where Carl Moerch is in the story. It's more about Rose than about Carl. Assad is a weak sidekick.

To me it looks like a low budget film. But first of all the biggest problem is the cast. Apparently the producers know this since they changed the cast for both Rose and Assad since the last movie.

Bring back Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Fares Fares og Johannes Louise Schmidt. They are in another league.

I looked forward to see this movie. Hoever I was soon felt let down. Ulrich Thomsen is one of my favoirte actors is feels plays more confused than in character. The person playing assad is like a meaningless background character in the book is interesting and has humour. Assad in the moive adds nothing to the movie and is completely emotionless not even a camal joke. I guess the creators thught that humour was lame and did not want it. Rose in the book was also a bit wierd and interesting. In the movie is she is also very dull.

Without any spoilers the plot feels forced.

Also the sex scenes feels like they hold back go all in if you include it.

All in all I don't understand if Jussi Adler Olsen thought it was better to use those actors than Lie Kaas they had humour that could lift the story. But this is not the high standard it could be.

There is no atmosphere of an intriguing detective story here, and this is the most unforgivable flaw in the film. If the heroine of the mistress had told the detective who was to blame for the death of her son, then this film would not have made sense. But she, having no reason to do so, remains silent like a "fish" until the very end. In general, the plot is interesting, but it all looks like an ordinary family drama, with only one nuance, there are all psychos who kill each other - this is irony, of course, but where is there without irony: a woman detective with a gestalt, an elderly man detective with a gestalt, a concerned head of a cult, the sister of the head of a cult with a gestalt, a freelance artist with a gestalt, a suicide who committed suicide on vacation - in general, everyone is crazy one way or another.
