Synopsis

A Hot-Shot Safe Cracker Must Make The Choice... Crime Or Carmen

Malik lives a life where a home, family and any form of attachment are things he knows nothing about. The young, streetwise safe-cracker is admired for his cool, steely calm and criminal expertise. In order to survive Malik has learned to live on the wrong side of the law where violence is second nature.

When he neets Carmen, he's introduced to ideals that are totally foreign. Intelligent, beautiful and ambitious, Carmen is driven by education and desire for a career and the dream of making a difference - something Malik never entertained.

He finds himself questioning everything he knew to be real and facing a choice...Carmen and 'her world' or the life he knows and understands?

Alternating between nail biting heists and pursuits of the heart, 9 Millimetre takes a glimpse at the darker side of young Nord's life.

'Thanks primarily to its lead trio of first-rate young performers 9 Millimetre is an engaging... combo of crime actioner, soaper and social drama... 9 Millimeter is probably the most significant as a sign, along with the strong Norwegian official selections at Cannes this year, that there's a new generation of talent ambitious Scandi filmmakers with international success in their gun sights.' - Variety

'Not afraid to look at the dark alleys of Norwegian life' - Film Focus

'It is tough...9 Millimeter brings Swedish film one step closer to Hollywood.' - VLT

'An exciting film with a lot of action' - DN/Punkten
