Mads Mikkelsen + Nikolaj Coster-Waldau? I couldn't have picked a better duo!

Those two very much keep 'Wildside' up and running throughout with some strong performances. It's not that it's a badly made or written flick or anything, but some parts of the story did bug me while watching - the bits with Egill Ólafsson's Stefán, in particular. When all is said and done, however, it's a positive watch... there's a neat end sunset scene in there, even as cliché as the use of it is.
