The exact details of what took place while Talib Ben Hassi (19) was in police custody remain unclear. Police officers, Jens and Mike, are on routine patrol in Svalegården's ghetto when news of Talib's death comes in over the radio, igniting uncontrollable, pent-up rage in the ghetto's youth, who lust for revenge. Suddenly, the two officers find themselves fair game and must fight tooth and claw to find a way out.

Gets it right.

Thumbs up. First og all great performance by everyone. And second the action is Way better this time for Danish Movie standards, and besides the Movie gets quite a few things right, such as cops Can be bad, and a Young man with Dark skin Can be harrassed, and the system is not flawless, and people do change when they come close to the reality, and some make mistakes and regrets Them. So glad that they showed these things from different angels, and Got Them spot on. Well done.
