Die Polizei von Kopenhagen sieht sich schweren Rassismus-Vorwürfen ausgesetzt: Nach einem brutalen Einsatz liegt der 19-jährige Talib Ben Hassi (Jack Pedersen) schwerverletzt im Koma. Besonders in der Hochhaussiedlung Svalegården wächst die Wut auf die Staatsmacht. Dorthin brechen der Polizist Mike Andersen (Jacob Hauberg Lohmann) und sein neuer Partner Jens Høyer (Simon Sears) zu ihrer ersten gemeinsamen Streifenfahrt auf. Trotz einer klaren Order zur Zurückhaltung gibt der rassistisch auftretende Andersen provokant den starken Mann. Bei einer willkürlichen Personenkontrolle demütigt er, ohne dass Høyer einschreitet, den Jugendlichen Amos Al-Shami (Tarek Zayat) auf offener Straße. Als Amos einen Fluchtversuch unternimmt und sich die Nachricht von Talibs Tod herumspricht, wendet sich die Gewalt plötzlich gegen die Gesetzeshüter. Eine Gang beginnt eine Jagd auf die Beamten, die bei ihrer Flucht auf die Hilfe des ortskundigen Amos angewiesen sind. Während ihn Anderson wie eine Geisel behandelt, möchte Høyer das Leben des Jungen schützen und in dieser brenzligen Lage kühlen Kopf bewahren. Je näher die Gefahr rückt, umso mehr drohen auch die Spannungen zwischen den beiden Polizisten zu eskalieren. (Das Erste)

The Danish reaction to the French Les Misérables it’s an intense and adrenaline-packed ride! The story focuses on two policemen on patrol who don't like each other much, but they don't know that one of the worst nights awaits them. After a 19-year-old Arab dies from police brutality, riots break out in the local ghetto where they happen to be. The film has a gripping pace, the young Arabs are unpleasant and uncompromising, the Danish ghetto feels like hell on earth, I wouldn't even leave the house to shop. There is shooting, running, hiding, a dense atmosphere, tension that never wanes, no help, and the chances of survival are slim. Denmark hits another success after Riders of Justice. It feels like a film based on real events, but unfortunately I haven't read that anywhere. Story****, Action***, Humor>No, Violence***, Entertainment****, Music****, Visuals****, Atmosphere****, Tension****. 8/10.

Personally, I like similar partisan escapees from enemy zones. It's just a pity that this film is set in Copenhagen. I won't condemn such a film for a few inconsistencies, especially when it speaks about the present time. It doesn't matter that one of those cops is a racist as hell. At least it opens up questions on both sides. Then comes tension, action, and shock from what I witnessed. The result is probably one of the first Danish films that openly addresses the current issues of its country, as I have seen.

Being a police officer in the multicultural ghettos of present-day Copenhagen is no picnic, and when you add a little fuel to the already heated and explosive environment, along with a larger dose of bad luck, beautiful chaos erupts, and a peaceful service suddenly turns into a fight for life. In the context of the action genre, where, let's be honest, creators usually don't consider a quality script important for action-packed entertainment (sometimes I feel like they completely give up on the script), Enforcement is a very good genre film. It is a provocative, morally ambiguous adrenaline-fueled ride supported by a menacing soundtrack that permeates through the concrete jungle, where you are surrounded by hatred and with a partner whom you can't fully trust. If the director had refrained from a few concessions to the popcorn-eating audience, it could have been a five-star film because it is excellently directed and acted. Overall impression: 85%.

This is probably what a brilliantly shot and acted film about the pressing problems of contemporary society should be, drawing attention to a corrupt morality where good and evil cannot be clearly defined. This is a very similar theme to the one explored in Les Misérables, but I get the nagging feeling that Enforcement is superior to the French film in many ways. The plot of this film, concerning the death of a dark-skinned young man after the brutal intervention of the guards, which leads to the outbreak of riots in the Copenhagen ghetto, seems much more realistic to me. Mostly, however, I felt as if I was in that impasse with the two policemen myself, and to tell you the truth, it didn't make me feel good at all. Moreover, I was almost constantly tense to the point of bursting regarding how it would all turn out. The final denouement surprised me. I have to say that it didn't disappoint me in the least, quite the contrary. (90%)
