Anxious People (2021, Sweden)

Original title: Folk med ångest

Two local policemen, father Jack and son Jim, are alarmed that there is a bank robbery happening just around the corner. They chase the robber until he disappears in one of the buildings. It turns out that it was an open house, where potential buyers were checking one of the flats. When they realize they now face a hostage situation, they call for backup, a SWAT team from Stockholm. While waiting for the arrival of the "professionals" Jim and Jack try to establish contact with the hostages and receive a request for a few pizzas. When the unit from Stockholm finally arrives, they storm the flat and release 8 hostages, but there is no sign of the bank robber. Now the policemen have to interrogate hostages to find out which one of them might actually be the robber.

The Swedish miniseries on surface similar to the Inside Man movie, however, as usual, the Swedes approached the motif in an entirely different way. With only eight hostages, it seems hard for the robber to hide among them, but somehow he manages to avoid being caught. Or is he? Anxious People is not a usual story and the case solution is unusual, which makes it an interesting thing to watch.

Can you solve a case like this?
