The world of DD is all a bit dulled. He is insensitive to touch and doesn't really know what he wants out of life or where he wants to take his career. Whilst pleasant enough to those around him he is the kinda guy who never returns the DVD's you lend him and he isn't the kind of guy to go out of his way to help a stranger in need, or to even give them the time of day. DD is a reflection of society in general.So what would happen if this easy life was torn in two because of lost remnants of his childhood? Storm takes the viewer on a twisting comic book journey that forces the main character to question his entire way of life by looking back upon his previous choices and actions. Storm has often been likened to the Matrix in terms of style, both of the main characters are comic book heroes of sorts, both are lost in a confused world, but the comparison ends there. There are a couple of nods to some scenes from the matrix (Run DD) but Storm takes an entirely fresh look at what it is to be alive and to feel. Some scenes are very eerie and are reminiscent of silent hill and the ending is quite bizarre too. Essentially Storm questions the intrinsic nature of man, albeit with clunkiness and size 11 boots.

When I first saw the trailer for this movie I really got caught. For being a Swedish production it really is ambitious, especially the special-effects and other stuff that rarely been included in a Swedish movie before. The movie focuses on the young man D.D (Eric Ericsson),he's a man that think that he can manage to survive all alone, who lives in the Swedish capital Stockholm. His life is really enjoyable until the mysterious woman Lova runs into him and turn his whole world upside down, she's chased by some dark and evil men who wants to kill her. I saw the movie on a Swedish cinema, I loved it, for being a Swedish film it really rocks, I've never seen anything like it. Måns Mårlind, who created the Swedish series "De Drabbade" wrote the story of the film, he's an awesome story-writer. I recommend this movie to everyone who liked the movie "The Matrix", the whole atmosphere feels like the one in matrix, but that's my own opinion.

After seeing this film, my first reaction was, "Why doesn't this movie have US distribution?" I was extremely impressed with everything about it. I'm shocked there is no US distributor in place, unless something is currently in the works. Compelling story, fun plot twist, good acting - this is a thinking man's film. It is also ripe to be remade as an American film - it could have an extremely wide American audience, and it is a move star vehicle, as DD would make a great role for the top American male actors. Marlind & Stein have an incredible little film here, and the work they did with such a modest budget is a huge testament to their directing chops. One of my favorite films this year.

I just got home from the world premiere of this movie, and this is the first time I have seen a Swedish action movie with sci-fi elements that does not come off as quaint or just outright bad. This is a very smart movie that, while all you see is not fully explained, the right things are, and it manages to weave different parts of the story together quite nicely.There is realism and depth (and pain!) in the psychological side of the movie, and I particularly like how the characters evolve over time - the storytelling technique works very well.I also like Jonas Karlsson's acting - his character could easily have become cliché or cheesy (there is something with Swedish that just isn't as cool as English, when doing this type of movie), but he avoids these traps and pulls it off with class. In general the acting, in its genre, is better than most Swedish movies that try to be this cool. Because Storm is cool.I heard this movie being put forward as a "Swedish Matrix", and while the two movies differ quite a lot, and the Matrix obviously had a much bigger budget, the comparison is not completely unwarranted since they both tell parallel stories in clever ways and play with our perception of what a normal life is. Storm tells its tale on a much more personal scale, and it does it excellently.
