This is probably what a brilliantly shot and acted film about the pressing problems of contemporary society should be, drawing attention to a corrupt morality where good and evil cannot be clearly defined. This is a very similar theme to the one explored in Les Misérables, but I get the nagging feeling that Enforcement is superior to the French film in many ways. The plot of this film, concerning the death of a dark-skinned young man after the brutal intervention of the guards, which leads to the outbreak of riots in the Copenhagen ghetto, seems much more realistic to me. Mostly, however, I felt as if I was in that impasse with the two policemen myself, and to tell you the truth, it didn't make me feel good at all. Moreover, I was almost constantly tense to the point of bursting regarding how it would all turn out. The final denouement surprised me. I have to say that it didn't disappoint me in the least, quite the contrary. (90%) (20.02.2022)

Being a police officer in the multicultural ghettos of present-day Copenhagen is no picnic, and when you add a little fuel to the already heated and explosive environment, along with a larger dose of bad luck, beautiful chaos erupts, and a peaceful service suddenly turns into a fight for life. In the context of the action genre, where, let's be honest, creators usually don't consider a quality script important for action-packed entertainment (sometimes I feel like they completely give up on the script), Enforcement is a very good genre film. It is a provocative, morally ambiguous adrenaline-fueled ride supported by a menacing soundtrack that permeates through the concrete jungle, where you are surrounded by hatred and with a partner whom you can't fully trust. If the director had refrained from a few concessions to the popcorn-eating audience, it could have been a five-star film because it is excellently directed and acted. Overall impression: 85%.

The Danish reaction to the French Les Misérables it’s an intense and adrenaline-packed ride! The story focuses on two policemen on patrol who don't like each other much, but they don't know that one of the worst nights awaits them. After a 19-year-old Arab dies from police brutality, riots break out in the local ghetto where they happen to be. The film has a gripping pace, the young Arabs are unpleasant and uncompromising, the Danish ghetto feels like hell on earth, I wouldn't even leave the house to shop. There is shooting, running, hiding, a dense atmosphere, tension that never wanes, no help, and the chances of survival are slim. Denmark hits another success after Riders of Justice. It feels like a film based on real events, but unfortunately I haven't read that anywhere.
