Such a huge disappointment.
First part was basically (too-) close-ups and shaky camera.
From there it just got too predictable (major developments you could see coming a mile away),too unlikely (everybody at the right/wrong place at the right/wrong time, depending on what was needed to get to the next predictable scene) and just comical (I actually had to laugh at the absurdity at one point).
Had I not been in the Cinema for the first time in over a year, and with friends, I would likely had walked out.
Plot summary
Marco Jameson only wants to become a Danish citizen and go to school as a normal teenager. But his uncle Zola rules his pocket clan with an iron hand. One day Marco runs into a dead man and, realizing the extent of his uncle's criminal acts, decides to run away. But he soon realizes that besides his family, someone else wants to keep him quiet forever. In the meantime, Commissioner Carl Mørck is furious that his assistants Assad and Ross have taken on a new missing person case. Carl has other problems - his biggest enemy is already his boss and his first job is to make Special Department Q difficult. But after learning that a boy named Marco may have invaluable information about the case, Commissioner Mørck is determined to find and rescue him.

Weak script held together by plot holes and unlikely coincidences

Awful. Should change the name from "Department Q" to "Department Chew".
I absolutely hate hate hate this Carl, and in fact everyone in the cast. They were all just gross. The other version cast perfectly all of the roles. I especially hated Detective that chewed. First seeds, then nicotine gum, then chewed other stuff. This group is impossible to care about. Marco the kid is impossible to care about. The general thing I couldn't deal with is the gross way carl kept eating seeds. I just wanted to scream for him to stop. It was disgusting. Why couldn't he go back to smoking. That was so much less absurd. I really didn't like the kid Marco. Not sure where he came from, but if I was Norwegian, I would hope he went back there. What a nasty little character. In the end I just fell asleep. Something about charity funds going missing, Totally obvious plot...if you would even call it a plot. But when you dont have a mystery, and can't care about a single character, what do you have left? A nap.

Am i glad
That i didn't spend money to watch this in the Movies... They completely destroyed the franchise by replacing the two main characters, which is sad.
This is what happens when book authors, try to interfere with the people who know what they're doing.
