Haha, I'd forgotten the scene were Thomsen is in the bogs at the Uboat base at the beginning of the film pissed up and says ;I am not in a postioin to ****!'.

I wonder why the filmmakers had him say that in english.

I'd have liked to see Thomsen play a more prominent part in the film but it wasn't to be.

I don't recall him playing a bigger part in the book, either.

Your right but I thought his character role in the film was superb....he almost made the early nightclub scene his own.

He did not play any significant role in the book. The storm did... Took some efforts to pass the storm..... Literally...
