Johan is a two-fisted Gothenburg cop who finds himself in a shoot-out with jewel robbers. After the smoke has cleared, one robber, shot by his accomplice, and an innocent bystander, are dead. Three witnesses, including Helen, identify thug extraordinaire Leo Gaut as being the dead crook's trigger-happy colleague. Gaut soon threatens the three witnesses, and only Johan, the badge-wearing hero, can save them.

One of my all time favorites.
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Absolutely Fantastic
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
If you take Jean-Claude van Damme and mix him with a bad adult film, you end up with "Zero Tolerance" (Noll Tolerans).The most fundamental thing of a film is its story. This story is flawed and the acting uninspired. I suggest a Beck episode or Jägarna if you wish to see a good Swedish thriller.
From the moment the car chase at the beginning of this film starts you know you are in for a thrilling ride to the end.I have watched a number of Swedish films of this genre on local cable here in Australia and have come to realise the Swedes make excellent thrillers.This film's plot is hardly original ... wrongly accused cop seeks truth and justice ....but it is done with such style and elegance (yes elegance, the production design, lighting and cinematography are superb)that the plot holes, mercifully few that there are, are hardly noticed.The actors (all unknown to me ...but I assume well known in Sweden) are excellent. The tough, thoughtful hero (Jakob Eklund)and the fearful villain (Peter Andersson) in particular add greatly to an already thoroughly satisfying film.Congratulations to all involved ..I hope the sequel "Livvakterna" is as successful.
"Noll Tolerans" may be well plotted, skillfully directed, and impressively cast it still bears a major problem indicated by its title. In making sure that its audience will never be in doubt about who´s good and who´s evil in this movie, the hero-policeman is pure as snow and the villain is downright hissable. Having that established the movie ridicules legal process, denounces legal representation (the villain´s lawyer is even more detestable than the villain himself is) and argues that Sweden´s society would be a safer place to be if it would just allow the police to do their job.That´s not only a questionable approach to the state of law, it would have been a much better movie in case its makers would have dared to paint it gray and not just black and white. In comparison "Dirty Harry" was a more ambiguous enterprise, with ambiguity being one of the last things springing in mind when thinking about Mr. Callahan.
"Noll Tolerans" is a pretty good movie even though the pacing is relatively slow for an action movie.Most scenes in the film are quite good, but the could also have been better. It's all in the details. For example: as mentionened above, the pacing could have been faster; the dialogue could have been more interesting, the script could have been more inventive e.t.c.The actors are very good overall, especially Jakob Eklund and Marie Richardson (a couple in real life, I think !?!?).Anyway, this movie is pretty good and it's worth a viewing.
