Synopsis:
Carl Morck (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) is a disgraced detective who is reassigned to the newly created Department Q, a basement-bound job filing cold cases, and given a new assistant: Assad, a smart young cop. Although they receive explicit orders to only read and sort through the cases, Morck's stubborn nature throws them headlong into the mystery of a missing politician's disappearance five years earlier. Believing the case to be unsolved, they embark on a dangerous journey that will lead them into the dark underworld of Copenhagen.

Nordic excellence continues - The Keeper of Lost Causes review by CP Customer

If you loved the Bridge, The Killing and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, you will enjoy this, Nikolaj Lie Kaas is perfect as the guy with a massive chip on his shoulder who only lives for his work and Fares Fares is equally impressive as the antidote for his misery. The story is told from both the victim and the investigator perspective which I think works really well and the ending suggests there may be a follow up in which case I can't wait.

Superb detective thriller - The Keeper of Lost Causes review by PT

Spoiler Alert
10/01/2017

The scandanavian film industry has produced some gems ... this is one of them.

No need for car chases, the gripping story and excellent characterisation draw you in until you are living it.

The chemistry between Kaas and Fares brings the film alive.

Thoroughly recommended for anyone who enjoys Inspector Morse (with John Thaw, born for the part!) and Wallander, although this film is darker than both.

Enjoy this one! Then look out for the sequals, The Absent One and A Conspiracy of Faith, with one more to be made in the series.
