Review:
Fantastic film!

A made for TV-film that is very difficult to find! It hasn't been released on DVD, but when it does, we are definitely going to buy it.

Even though you know who the bad guy is through the entire film, it is still exciting and extremely entertaining. Maybe also because it is a true story.

Our copy was horrible, made from VHS. It kept stopping every 5-10 minutes or so (sometimes more often), and pausing, but the time would continue. So thank goodness it had Swedish subtitles, or we would have missed most of the dialogue.
