I started watching the Killing a week ago and Joel Kinnaman is just downright amazing in it,he really nails the role of Holder. I've seen him in few movies before but never really noticed him until now, Joel has a new fan in me. Hope to see him alot in the future.

I discovered The Killing a few months and just fell in love with Kinnaman and Holder! Since then I binge-watched most of his movies, including his Swedish ones and the dude is AWESOME!
shareI'm about to start the fourth season of The Killing, sadly it's the last. After that I'm gonna rewatch some of Kinnaman's movies (Robocop, Run All night, safe house, did he have a big part in safe house? I cant remember at all)
I dont like swedish movies but I'll watch the Snabba Cash films. How did you like those?
I think I have serious mancrush on him :D

I actually saw Run All Night first and something about him just stood out. (I loved his scenes with Liam Neeson. I thoroughly recommend you watching it again.) Then I went searching for what else he had done and found out he was in The Killing. I'd been debating whether I wanted to see The Killing before that but once I knew it had Kinnaman...I binge watched. Oh, man! He gets better and better as that show went on. It still SUCKS how that show fell below the radar. I own the show now and I am slowly rewatching it. And he just gets better the more you watch him!
I personally LOVED the Snabba Cash movies (especially the first two). I totally recommend. I saw Safe House when I didn't know he was in it. I don't know. I'm such a fan now that I'm not sure I want to see him in anything where he is not the lead! ππ I saw Child 44 recently. I wasn't that big of a fan of the movie but I just couldn't take him playing such a minor role in the movie. He was awesome, though. It's a slimy character and he plays it really well.
Annnnnd Robocop! That movie...it was supposed to be his breakout movie. But...BUT...i just felt like it was a solid effort that just wasn't enough. I'm not one of those Robocop fan lovers (of the original movies). I saw the new one for Kinnaman without any baggage from the old one. I have to say - the movie was solid. Kinnaman was solid. Unfortunately, given the kind of mass films they make these days - this movie was very ordinary. There's a reason it didn't do great. It was such a disappointment for me. Kinnaman did not have a heroic role. And the movie did not have a great villain. Both essential for a movie like this to do well. A good, solid movie for this genre will not cut it anymore. And that was sad!
Yeah, I know what you mean. Saw him in Robocop and that Neeson film but just started watching The Killing today and very impressed with him.
