Sound of Noise (Ola Simonsson & Johannes Stjärne Nilsson, 2010)

This has urban terrorists being tracked by a cop and is not a thriller. It is also not a musical although a large chunk of the running time is devoted to full-length performances of pieces of music. It is, if anything, a comic flight of fancy: the terrorists are anarchists who take over public spaces to stage guerilla percussion performances, and their pursuer a man from a family of musicians who hates music. It gets very silly in places and the drumming numbers do start dragging somewhat as drum solos will do, but it's full of zest and light-footed invention, which is not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of the Scandinavian police film genre.
