Turning his back on a delinquent past and joining the police force, HP is determined to start doing the right thing. Soon he finds himself trapped in a web of lies, stretching out from both sides of the law. HP soon realizes that his present mission is closely connected to his own past, and that everything he worked so hard to escape from, is coming back to haunt him. Kind of authentic environment in this movie, like taken from reality. Bjørn Floberg is just raw power as the gangster boss. The last 20 minutes are hot suspense, if you can handle something quite special other than typical Hollywood.<br/><br/>Uro means "unrestfulness" and on the cover photo is Uropolitiet = the riot Police. Uro is the story of the police officer Hans Petter (HP), who is both troubled by his past and overeager to "do the right thing". HP soon finds himself in a world of trouble as he goes to far to make a bust on a local drug-lord.<br/><br/>HP's troubled background consists of the typical "alcoholic mother,absent father" setting, and HP himself is regarded as a troublemaker by people who knew him when he was young. The only "bad" thing we get to know about HP is that he punched one of his teachers in the face and then took off to another town. And in this lays some of the problem with the film. Although the movie tries to portray HP as a troublemaker who ignores the rules and his comrades because he believes it's the right thing to do, it only makes him look like part party-boy,part emo-kid. It also makes him look incredible stupid since he'd probably get permission to do what he's doing IF he'd told his superiors, and makes us wonder how he could ever get into the police academy (the real one, not the movie one).<br/><br/>The other problems is that the scenes never take this movie to the next level. The sad parts aren't really that sad, the gritty part's aren't that gritty and the funny parts.. well, there aren't really any funny parts. It might have saved the film if HP had walloped in sin and drugs. He takes a few shots of cocaine and have sex with the drug lords drug addicted daughter, but that's about it. The movie tries to be black and grim but ends up gray and flat.<br/><br/>The paradox of the movie is that the acting is pretty good, but the film is not. Nicolai Cleve Broch makes a good effort with HP's limited character and both Ane Dahl Torp and Ahmed Zeyan does solid performances. The best portrayed character is by Ingar Helge Gimle as "Makker", HP's boss. Whereas HP is gray and lifeless, Makker is full of emotion and life. You can really feel his frustration when HP doesn't follow his plan for him.<br/><br/>To sum this up I say good acting, poor camera and scriptwriting. A total of 5 out of 10 stars.
