The same year (2006) he became internationally famous as the villain in the James Bond entry "Casino Royale", Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen starred in this relatively small-scale film, in which he is also involved in a torture scene with a man tied to a chair; the difference is that in "Exit" he is the man being tortured, while in "Casino Royale" he was the torturer. When it tries to be a financial thriller, "Exit" is dull. When it is satisfied with being an "innocent-man-on-the-run" thriller, it is clichéd but occasionally effective and tense (the scene with a car crashing onto a van is particularly well done). There is a last-minute twist that mostly just muddles things up, and should have been expanded upon. **1/2 out of 4.
