The Guardian Angel (2018)

In the bustling heart of Copenhagen, seasoned criminal investigator Anders Olsen finds himself tangled in a perplexing case, sparked by a bank heist gone terribly awry. A daring robber, after shooting two bank clerks, vanishes into the city's labyrinthine streets, leaving behind a trail of mystery and money. Upon capture, he insists on his solitary guilt, but peculiar eyewitness accounts of the criminal seemingly in a trance-like state add an uncanny twist to the investigation. As Olsen delves deeper into the enigma, he uncovers a chilling connection between the accused and the charismatic yet elusive Björn Schow Nielsen, a former prison mate. This discovery leads him to a startling hypothesis: could Nielsen have hypnotized the robber into committing the crime on his behalf? To unravel this conundrum, Olsen teams up with a renowned psychiatrist, an expert in the obscure realm of hypnosis. Together, they embark on an intriguing journey into the mind's deepest recesses, exploring the eerie possibilities of mental manipulation. But as they probe further, they remain unaware of the silent danger lurking in the shadows. Unbeknownst to Olsen, the enigmatic Nielsen has stealthily woven his way into the life of his young wife, bringing the intricate case closer to home than Olsen ever anticipated. As he plunges deeper into this psychological maze, will he recognize the imminent threat before it's too late? The Guardian Angel spins a riveting tale of suspense, manipulation, and unseen dangers, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.
