I'm well aware of who he is... Maybe my joke just wasn't very funny?

It turned out to be a very tense action thriller set almost entirely in one dilapidated apartment building that's about to be renovated.
Despite same actor Kinnaman playing again a deaf cop, like in a recent John Woo film, this is an entirely different movie, style and story, and is actually more interesting to watch. It often goes to a pov of an almost deaf person, sound changing accordingly, so we the audience could better understand how it is in various situations. It's more dramatic than a straight shoot'em up, like the other was.
