The Netherlands-based company Dutch Features has acquired a pair of action-packed series, “Rogue Justice” and “The Columnist,” in the run up to Mipcom.
“Rogue Justice,” produced by leading Dutch company Pupkin Film, is mainly set on the tropical island of Bonaire and revolves around two elite cops Willem (Dennis van de Ven) and Theo who go rogue as they follow a trail of a stolen work of art.
The three-part miniseries, which will also be available as a feature-length film, is currently in production for the Dutch public broadcaster Npo 3. “Rogue Justice” is expected to be delivered early 2020.
“The Columnist,” meanwhile, is a revenge thriller starring Katja Herbers (“West World”) as a columnist who continuously has to deal with threats and negative comments on her social media pages. One day, she has had enough and decides to hunt down on her trolls.

A laudable lead performance and some good action sequences elevate this heavy-handed drugs thriller by director Tjebbo Penning
Surely, there must be some contractual reason why this punnet of greasy genre junk-food cinema from the Netherlands is getting a theatrical release in the UK. After all, it’s highly doubtful there will be more of handful of punters interested in seeing it here, unless perhaps a fleet of buses containing Dutch holiday-makers decide to camp next to a multiplex showing it and find themselves with nothing else to do on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Should that happen, they would be rewarded with a committed, laudably nuanced performance from Thekla Reuten as the see-no-evil wife of Jeroen van Koningsbrugge’s middle-management drug dealer. After years of trying to look the other way, Reuten’s Sylvia finally admits to herself that her husband is a violent psychopath whose line of work is...

It’s not often you come across a story about neurological disorders that treats the condition in a warm and often-funny way, but welcome to Links, a disarmingly charming tale of mouse-loving Dexter de Man, who can neither see left nor distinguish certain people from each other.
Links starts the way Dr Nathan likes movies to start – no backstory, no clumsy foreshadowing, no hints at all – just a quick cut-in on Dexter, who is indeed a dexterous circuit board maker for an electronics company called LinX. Dexter has pet mice and a girlfriend named Stella. The basically blind mice live in a fancy cage with a wheel and lots of food, and by and large they represent the link between Dexter and his world, filled as it is with similar cages – his work space,...
