Enslingen

Beck and his colleagues are back again. This time they're investigating two murders simultaneously; one is a reclusive man who lived a quiet life on his own, the other is an unidentified Asian woman. Meanwhile, the strain within the unit between Gunvald and Alice poses difficulties to the cooperation and the investigations.

In this movie, Alice gets more space at the expense of Gunvald. Beck is as usual the central character, the one who ties everything together. Even though I like the character Gunvald, I don't mind seeing Alice more in this one. We've already a lot of Gunvald in the previous movies. And the short episodes we do see in this one adds a lot of depth to his character, showing a more human side of him, not just the grim cop. In the end, I liked him even more after this one. As usual, Beck's daughter and the famous neighbour make short appearances as well.

Not the best of the Beck movies, but still interesting. It brings up important issues in a good way. If you liked the other Beck movies, you'll probably like this one too. If you haven't seen the other Beck movies, you should still give this one a chance. It's a fairly good detective story. Don't read the full version of the plot line though, in my opinion it spoils some of the movie.
