If you like your revenge stories centered around a strong emotional core, featuring well-defined characters, Baltasar Kormákur’s The Oath is one for you.

In it, Kormákur directs himself as Finnur, a physician who finds his ethical standards tested when meeting his daughter’s new boyfriend, Ottar (Gisli Orn Gardarsson).
