Surprisingly also well known Swedish comedy film maker Fares Fares function as his sidekick, though his Danish is quite bad. Nicolaj Lie-Kaas has said yes to three more. This is the start of a franchise of Adler-Olsen filmed novels, and I hope the next will be just as good. The casting is also very good when it comes to these time flashbacks, which show real quality.

The film manages to be interesting all the way through, and even gives us as viewers some really hard scenes to watch, as well as giving some kins of flashbacks which is really fresh. I'll leave the case here, but the film is so well made, and the actors play so well in a well crafted script by Nicolaj Arcel, which really is an amazing writer, that this is well worth a watch. He is put at a desk to close open old cases. His wife has dumped him, his best friend and fellow detective is dead and his ex-partner crippled, both in the same case which nearly cost him life. The international title I find as very suitable, and promises more to come! Carl (played by Nikolaj Lie Kaas) is a cop which after a mistake thrown off his normal job as detective, after nearly being shot. The Danish title is maybe the worst about this film, but still that's due to the Novel by Jussi Adler-Olsen, which have had a good portion of success with the crime novels about detective Carl. Kvinden i buret has got the English, and much better title, The Keeper of Lost Causes, in stead of what should have been The caged woman. Title (Brazil): "Departamento Q: Guardiões das Causas Perdidas" ("Department Q: Guardians of the Lost Causes") I look forward to see a sequel of this movie.

The plot can be an excellent pilot for a TV series or for a franchise since Detective Carl Mørck is an interesting character, dumped by his wife and losing his two partners. The story recalls police stories from the 80's but using few clichés and without car chases. Will Carl and Assad find Merete still alive? "Kvinden i buret" is a great European thriller with a good story and excellent screenplay that uses flashbacks to disclose characters and situations. But their chief wants to abort the whole operation and close the case. But when they see his photo, they realize that Daniel is not the man that they are looking for but another one called Lasse (Peter Plaugborg). They discover that the man lives in Sweden and when they arrive, the local police informs that Daniel died while fishing.

Then Assad shows the photos to Uffe that reacts to one with a man called Daniel Hale.

Carl learns that Merete had given a lecture before her disappearance and he requests photos from the event. Carl finds strange that someone with the intention of taking her own life brings the mentally retarded brother Uffe (Mikkel Boe Følsgaard) with her and he decides to investigate.

Carl stumbles upon a five year-old case of a missing person, Merete Lynggaard (Sonja Richter), who committed suicide in accordance with the investigation of an incompetent detective. When Carl is recovered, he is set aside by his chief in the Department Q, where old cases are closed and filed, to work with the responsible for the department Assad (Fares Fares). In Denmark, in an unsuccessful raid against a criminal, the impulsive and stubborn Homicide Detective Carl Mørck (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) is seriously wounded by a shot his best friend and partner dies and the other detective becomes crippled with the bullet.
