The Third Wave (2003)

The Third Wave is a 2003 Swedish action film, starring Jakob Eklund as ex-police officer Johan Falk. Falk has left his job at the Gothenburg police, wanting to leave his former life behind. But when an old friend wants to meet him about a possible job in Europol, he gets entangled with European mobsters. Witnessing the execution of his friend, he ends up on the run with a woman the mobsters are after. Falk has to fight against organized crime to get justice, and more importantly, revenge.



Glock 17

The Glock 17 is the most frequently used firearm in the film. Hitman Dauphin (Sylvester Groth) uses one as his preferred sidearm in the film, and usually wields it suppressed. Dauphin's accomplice Rocca (Emmanuel Limal) also uses a Glock 17 during the restaurant scene in The Hague, but is disarmed of it by Johan Falk (Jakob Eklund). Rocca then takes Monteux's (Alain Azerot) Beretta 92FS and uses it for the remainder of the film. All of the men employed by EuroSec, including Devlin (Nicholas Farrell) and Stevens (John Benfield), carry Glock 17s as their sidearms. Johan Falk (Jakob Eklund) and Rebecca (Irina Björklund) also arm themselves with Glocks during the climax. Phoenix Kane (Ben Pullen) also briefly wields a Glock during the climax.
