Looks killer. Go to the website, click on 'Ga till Storm', then 'Förföljd' (left side of pop-up), then 'Trailer'. Watch. Also check out the 'filmklipps'. Some are calling it Sweden's Matrix. Did I miss something? Why, because some dudes are wearing black & they are using mostly green hued backlighting? Whatever. Still looks pretty cool.

"Starting out as a flashy and violent actioner, "Storm" gradually morphs into a multilayered psychological study of a troubled young man. Fast paced, visually exciting and with enough plot twists to satisfy the most jaded filmgoer, pic has all the makings of a cult hit. Chances are good of it scoring offshore too -- as evidenced by brisk sales during AFM. Film won the audience award at the recent Stockholm fest." Review snippet from Variety.

Synopsis
DD is young, cool. Knows where it’s at. Or… thought he did. He is completely unaware that a struggle between good and evil has begun in which he himself is the arena. To get through it in one piece and alive DD must solve a riddle. A riddle whose solution will either destroy him or give him a new life.
