Absolutely the worst movie.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The third film in the 'Department Q' series that adapted from the book series of the same name. For this the director has changed, the one from 'In Order of Disappearance' and I think it was a good move, but the result was not as expected, at least not for me. As the sequels proceeding, it's losing its charm. Yeah, for me still the first film was the best one. That following parts were just okay, which rely highly on the great foundation that laid in the first.Actually this story was good, despite like any cop-and-kidnapper- chase-thriller. But it was developed on the sensitive issue like faith which made the film a little shy. Because they don't want to bring in any serious debate, but wanted to balance everything as much as possible to be neutral from all kinds of this film series' fans/viewer's perspective. So you will be entertained as the title promised, but at the end if you consider it just a film, then it's okay. Otherwise, particularly from the atheist's viewpoint, its not any favourable.The story has a clear explanation for whatever happens, especially about the film character who commits the crime. So it is a challenging time for what Carl Morck believes in. So far we saw him as a tough cop, but this particular case he's dealing with is like he had never encountered before. There are some great scenes, like chasing a train which is actually a turning point in the narration. But the rest of the film was mostly has cliché like any cop who tries to solve the crime.❝With that attitude you'll never enjoy a pork roast.❞The plot for the crime was focused on the initial stage of the tale. The following narration was highly influenced by the cops and their attempt to resolve the issue. But before coming to that, an intentional connection between the two cases was not definitely a masterstroke as I expected. Although it looked something new on the screenplay, which might have worked so good in the dark and slow paced crime-thriller.While they are, Carl and Acid are looking to decipher the puzzle they have got which is dated back nearly a decade, now they come to know that two kids were kidnapped in a similar fashion. They begin to dig deeper from the previous clue for the new incident. If they are right, it is much closer than they have thought to solve it. But how it helps to plan for the fight and their full efforts which told in the final act with a fast pace.Little disappointing was they wanted to remain those two cops as the heroes. So all the heroic acts were a build up from them alone in most of the accounts for the cinematic edgy moments. Especially how the finale turns out, is not appreciable from the writing perspective, other than giving satisfactory episode to the hardcore fans of the film franchise.For me the locations were awesome, all the scenes shot at the right time of the day and its light that sets a fine tone regarding all the developments taking place. A decent follow-up and surely worth a watch if you had liked previous two films, but don't expect it to be the best in the series. Anyway, still some people think it is the best one so far. Now I think it's time to wait for 'The Purity of Vengeance' if they are on to it.6/10

I got a book named Message in a bottle, translated from the original, by Jussi A.O. from my friend, and did not even opened it for a month. Just did not have time. And yesterday I started and finished it. Thats the way I do. Just could not let it go. What a great story. I was so excited. Every character well described. You read it and you feel it,seeing it in front of your eyes. Commented with my husband that will be great if they make a TV show, to describe all characters and details. Jussi wrote a great novel. Then my friend told me there was already a movie too and started laughing. So, I found it, watched it, and from the first second was like : What the...??? Disappointed. Lots of pieces and people been missing, whole story went wrong. If you expecting to see what you read, do not bother. Do not get me wrong, they had a great actors, and scenes, but the story was just weak. Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Fares Fares, Johanne Louise Schmidt, Søren Pilmark, Pål Sverre Hagen and everyone else did their job. Except screenwriter and director. Shame on you, Disappointed Q.

We just finished watching all three of the Department Q movies. They are all equally fantastic! We are at awe with the natural acting performance and the very exciting plots. We wished that we could speak Danish, but our vote still gets a 10 out of 10 with subtitles. Lately, we have been missing this kind of enjoyment from productions out of Hollywood, they definitely could learn lots from the European Team. We would love to hear, that they are planning to produce many more of the Department Q movie series and hopefully with the same crew. Because three plots, all different, but equally spell-binding, realistic, sometimes even funny, in their tension-relieving moments, makes it clear you have a winner of a writer, actors and all who made this show what it is kind of crew... You don't want them to stop and we beg them to produce many more of this amazing production. Thank you in advance

**** May contain strong spoilers ****This is a review made by StoneDraim... and that means that if you want to read a probably different kind of review, keep reading....This is my personal experience, my personal point of view/perspective and my personal opinion... and my opinion is just one of like 7 billions in this world.The movies including "A Conspiracy of Faith" has a good reputation. Danish movies is low in rate in my opinion. And the trilogy is well made movies with a heavy sense within them. The story behind the film is based on a strict faith in religion. A family (two children, two adults) is greatly active in a spiritual and religious "cult" and community. A man is coming now and then to pay his visit to the church. Two children is kidnapped and before that criminal act the police has gotten an bottle message from someone written several years earlier. As the investigation comes closer to the core, the intense hunt begins to save both the parents and the children. During the chase and the investigation, the to-be-prosecuted has some clarification in what made the prosecuted the way the prosecuted is. And, within that, a lot is taken ground inside the world of religion and a faith in a almighty God. As a criminal story following the apartment of Q, "A Conspiracy Of Faith" is getting straight to the point socially; how far will a human being go to follow the belief and faith? How (if so) dangerous can a community based on religion (and separating itself from the rest of the world) be? Nikolaj Arcel and Jussi Adler-Olsen (the writers) has taken some interesting topics and twisted them around a little... started on a script beginning as an ordinary crime story just to evolve into a more sweltering and substantial movie, where the characters is in constant danger.A scene in the end could have been done a lot... a lot better and intense. The prosecuted drowns a child in front of the police officer. Just the thought of the events is... so devastated. If the production team and the actors had knocked this scene up four or five steps, it could easily have been a major thing that would have made this film noticed in a great way.Addition to the story: A human being who has been through tragic elements and/or events in life can be hold back and very "off to the world". Being focused to the inner self and dwell in anxiety. Carl Morck (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) is extremely heavy minded in the beginning of this motion picture. And still, a genius in creating and finding pieces in a criminal puzzle. Just a few words here and there, and on the other hand taking in everything happening around him.If the film were a high class production, the development of Carl Morck should have been better planned and acted to give the viewer the total (and the supposed?) realistic mental change of the same man. Too bad they missed that target.To be clinical of the motion picture story and events, there is one innovative kill in "A Conspiracy Of Faith"; a pair of scissors into the gut. Then opening the scissors inside the gut and cutting.Do you like Scandinavian movies? Do you like criminal films, and following the police in their work? Then, I recommend "A Conspiracy Of Faith".Over to the movie as a product: - The production : Sadly, I have to say it like this; "to be an Scandinavian movie, it is more than good." If they would have been more in the way of perfection (in every way; camera work, sound, visuals, acting etc.) this could have hit the buzz of excellent movies. - The actors : Solid performances from Fares Fares and Nikolaj Lie Kas.The director could easily have done a better job with the entire cast as there is high potential in several actors. - Entertainment : Sitting on the edge at some times. Good criminal story with some action. - Age : 156,7 out of 10. (The final rate is based most on my own entertainment of the movie. Short elucidation of the rating: 7 Well made movie. Proper entertainment. 6 Nice production. Good movie.)
