"VIOLENT AND EXCITING. WOLLTER IS BRILLIANT" Expressen
"CAN COMPETE WITH THE BEST POLICE MOVIES FROM HOLLYWOOD" Variety
Through Stockholm's underworld, among thieves, whores and drug addicts, four people travel in their picket bus. Night after night. In dark tunnels and deserted garages, they let their power rule to the echo of cracked skulls and broken blood vessels. They are self-appointed judges and executioners – and the punishment is carried out immediately. But there is no point in calling the police. They are the police!
IN THE NAME OF THE LAW is a raw and provocative cop thriller based on Leif GW Persson's true-life novel Samhällsbärarna. The film's portrayal of police brutality angered police leaders. The most media attention was given to the revelation that the police had demanded changes to the script in order to provide props.
