Thanks to TVs The Killing and Borgen, political thrillers in any way connected to Scandinavia are now supercool. A plot that touches on amnesia, homophobia, transvestism and opera certainly allows for plenty of swerves in mood.

Alas, Danish director Christian E Christiansen can't sustain the tension. Leading lady Tuva Novotny looks like Dannii Minogue and numerous hair and costume changes feel like an excuse to show off her doll-like form. File under BOR:ING.
