Verfasst: 2022-11-15 0:18
"The Middle Man" is set somewhere in mid-western USA, but not a single frame of it was shot there. Norwegian/Danish director Bent Hamer - who also adapted the script from the 2012 novel "Sluk" from Lars Saabye Christensen - shot parts of it in Ontario, Canada; but many of the scenes were actually filmed in and around Cologne, in Solingen, and a Duisburg hospital doubled for an american counterpart. The actors were also assembled from various european countries, for example Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, with the occasional Canadian thown in for good measure. You wouldn't gather that from the trailer, tough:
