I am gonna keep it short and simple-I think the biggest problem with the movie is that the tone from the first 2 movies is missing from this part.There isn't edge of thrill moment as the first 2 parts had.Seems like director was in hurry to complete the movie.It's watchable but not as good as the first 2 parts.

I got a book named Message in a bottle, translated from the original, by Jussi A.O. from my friend, and did not even opened it for a month. Just did not have time. And yesterday I started and finished it. Thats the way I do. Just could not let it go. What a great story. I was so excited. Every character well described. You read it and you feel it,seeing it in front of your eyes. Commented with my husband that will be great if they make a TV show, to describe all characters and details. Jussi wrote a great novel. Then my friend told me there was already a movie too and started laughing. So, I found it, watched it, and from the first second was like : What the...??? Disappointed. Lots of pieces and people been missing, whole story went wrong. If you expecting to see what you read, do not bother. Do not get me wrong, they had a great actors, and scenes, but the story was just weak. Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Fares Fares, Johanne Louise Schmidt, Søren Pilmark, Pål Sverre Hagen and everyone else did their job. Except screenwriter and director. Shame on you, Disappointed Q.

A CONSPIRACY OF FAITH is the last of the DEPARTMENT Q trilogy; these are Danish crime thrillers which are just as dark and gritty as THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO. This one's all about religious themes, such as faith and fanatics, and once again there are grisly murders taking place for our leads to investigate. I found it a noticeable step down in quality from the previous entry in the series, lacking the pace and suspense that made the first two films more than watchable.This time around, the characters seem to be going through the motions without adding anything much in the way that's new. The gloomy atmosphere seems stronger than ever, sapping the film of life and sentiment, and there's a lot of wasted time in between the admittedly good set-pieces; the hospital sequence is a highlight here. At least the main cast members continue to give solid performances, with Fares Fares shining in particular.

This is the third, and so far the best, film from Jussi Adler-Olsen's crime novels about the Department Q. The first "Kvinden i buret"/"The Keeper of Lost Causes" (2013) I rated 7/10, and was quite disappointed about the much more convoluted "Fasandreberne"/"The absent one" (2014), which I voted 5/10. Then I'm happy to say that this is a big step back from the last film directed by Mikkel Nørgaard. Acclaimed Norwegian director Hans Petter Moland has taken over, and made a much more serious and darker Nordic noir.The film is about a serial killer, acting as a cult leader. He kidnaps two children and demands ransom. But before this the Departemnt Q gets a case with a eight year old strange message found in a bottle. This is the start of an intense hunt.The acting is superb, and mix with religion makes it very interesting. The film is slightly let down by being a lower budget production, though just from being a classic. it's still a very dark crime thriller. Carl Morck (played by Nikolaj Lie Kaas) is very depressed and heavy minded. He makes his best role so far here. There is also a very strong acting performance by Pål Sverre Hagen, which does another psychopath here, just as in Moland's incredible "In order of disappearance"/"Kraftidioten". Once again a memorable role.A well recommended Nordic noir.
