Hamilton

Hamilton (1998) is a Swedish spy thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Harald Zwart and starring Peter Stormare as Carl Hamilton — Jan Guillou's iconic Scandinavian intelligence operative. A Sweden-Norway co-production shot partly in Morocco and Italy, it brings the popular novel series to the screen with a stripped-down European sensibility.

Hamilton and a Finnish partner are sent to intercept a group of Russian smugglers who have gotten hold of a 1.5-megaton nuclear warhead capable of leveling a major city. The cast spans several countries: Lena Olin, Mark Hamill, and Russian actors Yevgeny Lazarev and Andrei Smolyakov. No one here is trying to out-Bond Bond — the film runs cold, moves fast, and lands its action without the gloss of Hollywood product. Stream Hamilton (1998) online on iFILM.
