Review

Erik Richter Strand's second film in the Varg Veum series was released less than two months after its predecessor, Tornerose. This third entry in the series is also the best, even if it may be inferior to its two older brothers in tension and suspense. In Din til døden, Veum finds himself in the midst of a divorce with extraordinary ramifications, ranging from car theft to jealousy, robbery and murder. The film has a brilliant onset, with some very skillful plot twists early on (including a fine scene inside a garage and an excellent segment with Trond Espen Seim, Henrik Mestad, Sølje Bergmann, and Ulrik Lullau). There is far more style and flair in the execution of Din til døden than in the two prior films, and Richter Strand shows a delicate blend of moods throughout the film's different parts. It's also pleasing to see the increasingly tight-knit and wonderfully acted relationship between Veum and Hamre. Seim and Bjørn Floberg are absolutely magnetic together, and the subdued ending augments an otherwise somewhat predictable final denouement.
