In A Better World (Hævnen) (2010)


When a father in the company of his young sons and their friend is assaulted by another father in a playground, a chain of events is sparked that for most of this Danish thriller's runtime is a compelling look at bullying and the vicious cycle of revenge, but a really bad decision made by two of the boys at the two-thirds mark rings untrue - especially after they have both heard parental confessions which should heal not exascerbate their delinquence - and from that moment on, the tension is replaced by a melodramatic soap opera that abandons two major plot points.

★★☆☆☆
