In the 16th century in the Cévennes, a horse dealer by the name of Michael Kohlhaas leads a happy and prosperous family life. When a lord treats him unjustly, this pious, upstanding man raises an army and puts the country to fire and sword in order to have his rights restored.

Movie did way too much in the first half and then became way too slow in the second I’m so lost. Mads Mikkelsen pls stop just doing every movie that’s ever thrown at you

i like the theme (and mad mikkelsen), but it is too slow sometimes- i wouldn't have watched it to the end if mads mikkelsen wasn't there 🤭
