Dane B. M 09/10/2024 If the Americans had any hand (or should I say, 'fist'?) in this we would have seen Rambo blood. This took me by surprise. Expect to be amazed. See more 09/15/2021 A boy's boarding school in Sweden where violent discipline is meted out by wicked-hearted upperclassmen is forced to change when a new student rises to the occasion and faces the head bully and his two underlings with conquering ferocity. A David unseats a Goliath and the accepted cruelty at the school.

Evil is based on a novel by Jan Guillou, which allegedly is partial self biographical. Cinematographically this is solid Swedish quality, and with generally fine performances, both from some of the best among national actors in the adult roles, but most of all from some of the youngsters in the leading roles. However, other minor performances suffer from slight overacting, perhaps not unexpected from so many young amateurs, but still, this and occasional sloppy dialogue is what keeps this from being outstanding.

It shows an interesting look into the violent way of boarding schools in Sweden back in the day. Since it's in Swedish and my level isn't fully adapted to see how "bad" the language is, but it was enough. I definitely wouldn't watch this with children. But I may watch it again. See more 07/13/2014 A high school melodrama film that can't takes you eyes off it. Powerful (even it should get more) and full of surprise. See more Read all reviews
