THE TRUTH CAN BE DEADLY.
On the same night as the Nobel Prizes are awarded in Stockholm, an assassin kills the Nobel Committe chair; everybody assumes the killer made a mistake, except tabloid reporter Annika Bengtzon (Malin Crépin). After two previous Swedish thrillers starring Bengtzon, this new project with a younger incarnation of the reporter looks bland, lacks thrills (in spite of its spectacular opening) and suffers from a less than convincing depiction of how cops and journalists work.
