For the last years I have become very found of the scandinavien school of cinema. Great contemporary actors and directors achieved a high reputation throughout international distribution for the last 30 years, so I have always given my good to go before the chance of enjoying a new movie from either Denmark, Sweden or Norway. Drama and thriller is probably the genre most main directors feel at ease working on, so we have seen many. Jägarna, does not bring any new input to the genre. Though pretty well acting, the plot does only bring topics we have already seen before too many times.
Let us take TV Series Broden (The Bridge) Season1 where Swedish female cop meets Danish cop to help on a serial killer case, and mix it with some good feature films like Druk (Another Round) where a group of friends meets up to get drunk in bars and restaurants, and you will have Jägarna.
Jägärna background story - the rein deer hunters we are just introduced at the beginning- is just the excuse for a "wild redneck bunch of killers" vs "good cops team" with forced last-minute limit situations which at some point may not be credible. Though entertaining, the story is not working deep enough into the main characters falling by the middle into a classic good vs evil confrontation. Yet some characters can be found tender giving the story a side twist by the end. Sorry, I was expecting more with on this one , yet as a dejà-vú story to me, does not deserve more than a 6.
