Having watched the predecessor "Kongekabale" a long time ago, I was interested to see how they've carried the story on. The sequel movie "Mørkeland" is just an exact continuation of the same story but with a new and similar plotline within the world of politics.
The plot this time around is mostly just like "Kongekabale" which makes the movie less of an original story, but nonetheless it does get you intrigued in the story... It did for me. I was interested and surprised at times to find out what really was happening in the movie. The story was alright, but nothing over the top.
This movie just shows the great qualities from Anders W. Berthelsen as Ulrik Torp. He shows every bit of quality and just gives a great performance. While other characters were alright as well.... None of them played up to Anders W. Berthelsen quality.
Mørkeland shows very promising signs of a great movie, but is downgraded for it unoriginal plotline that closely follows its predecessor. But is again carried massively by the great performance from Anders W. Berthelsen. Therefore a final rating of 8/10.
