A Conspiracy of Faith (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Leah Pickett Chicago Reader Set in Scandinavia and featuring a sullen male protagonist, it's violent, hard-boiled, and psychologically disturbing. Its antihero, a clench-jawed police detective, also embodies a belief that individual goodness might be enough to prevail. Jul 28, 2016 Full Review A Conspiracy of Faith (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times "A Conspiracy of Faith" marks the darkest and most gripping screen adaptation of the Jussi Adler-Olsen novels to date. Jun 23, 2016 Full Review A Conspiracy of Faith (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Ken Jaworowski New York Times Sure, you could point out a few shortcomings here and there. But those sins are easy to overlook. Jun 16, 2016 Full Review A Conspiracy of Faith (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Sarah Ward Goethe-Institute Australien Magazine Bleak in its kidnapping contents but bright in its images. Aug 23, 2017 Full Review A Conspiracy of Faith (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher Denmark's smash-hit Nordic noir series Department Q arrives in the US... and this third chapter is menacing, creepy, and morbidly engaging.

amy b Great performances all around, but especially from Nikolaj Lie Kaas and Pal Sverre Hagen. Hagen, against type, is convincing as terrifying serial killer. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Jesper L If you don't compare it at all to the book it's a good film at best.Compared to the book, Carl Mørck looses everything that made him different from every other run at the mill washed up detective. What drives him, is taken from him, his relationship with his ex-wife is just changed to the same lame trope as every other male representative on tv.It doesn't bring anything new, just more of the same that other movies do, it's good what they do, but just the same.TL:DR Fine movie what they do is good, but nothing new and exciting.. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/23 Full Review Wolfgang G Erlösung ist ein Thriller von Hans Petter Moland (Regie), das Drehbuch dazu schrieb Nikolaj Arcel. Es handelt sich um eine Verfilmung des gleichnamigen Romans des dänischen Schriftstellers Jussi Adler-Olsen. Carl Mørck (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) und Assad (Fares Fares) er mitteln in einen Fall in dem es um Kindesentführung in einer Sekte geht. Der Film fesselt von Anbeginn bis zum Schluss, die Schauspieler sind überzeugend, besonders die Leistung von Pål Sverre Valheim Hagen als Johannes. Dieser skandinavische Krimi ist hervorragend inszeniert. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/22 Full Review Andrew P A painful movie, but it's beautiful in its pain. In a godless world, you can be a bringer of despair or hope, a killer or a homicide detective. Perhaps, in the wake of a number of mass shootings across the US, we can choose to bring hope instead. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/22 Full Review Audience Member This one is indeed the best of the series. A thriller and a mystery (more of the former) juxtaposed brilliantly against both the nihilistic and religious views of life. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Best of the series: Conspiracy of Faith introduces missing children all tied to a small church. It begins with a message in a bottle that was written in blood. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
