The Promised Land(2023)
"A captain’s ambition, a ruthless rival, and a land that defies them both."
Overview

Kahlen's fate hangs in the balance: will his endevours bring him wealth and honour, or cost him his life...?

"The Promised Land is a profound character study of how personal ambitions and desires inevitably will fail without love, compassion, and everything else that makes us human.
Accompanied by somber cinematography and an atmospheric score, the cast delivers outstanding performances, especially Mads Mikkelsen who utilizes all his experience to drive the story with a magnetic display.
Heavy, predictable, and somewhat repetitive at times, but totally worth the ticket."
