Drama in which a Danish journalist kidnapped by terrorists in Afghanistan helps one of her hostage takers when he flees his country and ends up in Denmark as a migrant. A story about forgiveness and doing what you have to do to help your fellow man, regardless of politics and ideology, which in this case is at odds with the (right-wing?) policy of the country. Narrative not always strong. So I thought there were quite a few coincidences in it. Coincidentally the hostage-taker Nasir speaks English, coincidentally he ends up in Denmark ... I also didn't think the ending was that great. Fortunately, Flugten is captivatingly told by its current theme and it is well acted, but the film nevertheless remains a decent average.

The first part of the film, the hostage situation, I thought was too detailed compared to the rest, which should have been worked out much better. For a film from 2009, it is now a topical theme; the interpreters in Afghanistan. Despite the fact that the film lasted almost two hours, you could fill a sequel with the possible consequences of the actions of certain people, including the open ends. The cast consisted of many acquaintances who guarantee acting quality.
