  • Berlingske reviews Netflix's Danish-produced thriller "The Secret Woman" and finds little originality in its story.
  • The review criticizes the film's predictable plot, uninspired direction and underused cast.

Is there even a single original thought in the Danish thriller "The Secret Woman"? Berlingske's review delivers its answer with an emphatic no.

Netflix's new Danish-produced film sets out to be a dark relationship thriller. Instead, the review says, it falls flat under the weight of a predictable plot and lifeless direction.

The film's acting talent also goes to waste, according to the review. Its lack of originality recalls the old era of straight-to-video movies, films considered so poor that they never reached cinemas and had to find an audience in the home-video market.
