EXCLUSIVE
GHETTO BLASTERS
SHORTA IA ripped-from-the-headlines thriller that shreds the nerves…
BOILING POINT Jacob Lohmann and Tarek Zayat as cop Mike Andersen and teen Amos Al-Shami
VERTIGO
Shortais an Arabic word for ‘police’, and this explosive action-drama by Danish writer-directors Frederik Louis Hviid and Anders Ølholm starts with a Muslim teen hospitalised by a cop. Tensions run high, and Copenhagen’s Svalegården ghetto erupts when the teen later dies… just as two white police officers, Jens (Simon Sears) and Mike (Jacob Lohmann), enter the area. What follows owes a debt to gritty ’70s thrillers The Warriors and Assault On Precinct 13 as the duo of cops, their cruiser smashed, try to make it out.
