I love Mads Mikkelsen's performances and have seen many of his movies. When I read that this was comedy, I thought "That's just what I need right now, to lift me out of this gloom that has descended upon so many of us over the last 2 years, this madness that continues and seems to evolve.
Another Round wasn't comedy for long, At about 20 minutes in, it started to be funny when four adult males, friends and teachers at the same school, agreed to test the effects of alcohol on an academic level, a study. Then it all got out of hand and that is when the comedy slid into tragedy.
I was expecting it to be a kind of didactic tale, a warning if you will, but it wasn't and the ending was a waste that, considering the circumstances of the ending, seems rather odd and out of place.
Not the best of Mads movies, sorry to say. However, on a happier note, the performances of Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Bo Larsen, Lars Ranthe, and Magnus Millang, were stellar.
