...Von Trier has assembled a colourful rogues gallery here.

Not quite as smart as it wants to be, and a better action movie than it is a political thriller, this is still a heart-pounding drama.

...offers the war on terrorism we wanted to fight—with clear, identifiable enemies; rock-solid intelligence; and precise deployment of American might—instead of the one we're stuck with.

...luller seeren ind i sit eget besnærende, befængte univers, hvad enten man ser den for første eller femte gang.

...jag kapitulerar för den kraft som finns i von Triers känsla för absurditet och karneval, den närmast djuriska instinkt han uppvisar för människans sociala dans.

...der bliver »spasset ud«. Helt ud.

...det er virkelig en fryd at se den gamle serie shinet op.
