Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Bene Cumb Although it is not educational, life and deeds of loafers is found catchy to follow by lots of viewers - apparently "decent" themselves. And the case is better if nasty crimes are not visible and their motive is not personal greed. Gamle mænd i nye biler depicts a story where suspicious measures are taken for the sake of help and remedy. The amount required is huge, time is ticking, and there are dozens of hindrances on the way... As the participants' IQ and moral values are not high as well (mildly speaking), then crazy and funny situations are easy to rise, leading to a logical, but somehow expected ending. Meanwhile, it is pleasant to track the run of events, comprehensions of characters, various action situations; by the way, two chases shown are not worse / less tense than in Hollywood movies. Well, some scenes are knowingly amplified, but they do not become ridiculous.The cast is evenly strong, particularly Kim Bodnia as Harald, Nikolaj Lie Kaas as Martin (his presence could have been more often), Torkel Petersson as Ludvig, Iben Hjejle as Mille. Actors like them could be savers of much weaker script.A good entertaining experience, if you like Scandinavian crime thrillers with humorous touch.
Kalle Dannestam (karl_lundholm) Comedy at it's best! The humour in this picture varies from lighter more jackass'isch to dark satirical aspects and sometimes borderline evil. The plot is probably totally impossible to explain for someone that hasn't seen it, with twists far beyond comprehension; the turns are as many as they are crazy. The characters are twisted and shows both the best and the worst sides of humanity(or lack thereof). The only thing one could complain about is the music -you could wish for a bit more, but that's just a minor thing.There are several, independent, movies with the same characters which I highly recommend(all danish).
voIcomstone Well... it's not everyones style, but I liked it very much. No pseudo deep sense. Some funny scenes combined with action and a very little lovestory. Well, last I haven't needed, but it hasn't disturbed me. If you watch this movie you have to agree with your conscience that this is really only a movie. It's made to entertain people.The story consists of Harald who just was released from prison and the first action he does is to commit a crime. Together with his two Henchmen Martin and Peter he has to get quite a lot of money. Harald is in dept and the Mafia wants its money fast. His compensation father needs a new liver and so the story is framed. Many little pieces are put together to a, in my opinion, good movie.Who's not "antiviolent" should have seen it.
Icewall I thought the first movie was great. Not only did it have cool action and great, if a little bizar humor, it was also slightly philosophical. This movie is devoid of the latter, but I still laughed my ass off. It is a (pre)sequel, and taken as such, it is quite good. Story is weak and incoherent, direction is shabby, but the dialog, and bizar events, were right on the mark. If you have seen the first, and read this, you should know whether or not you will enjoy it. I know I did, even if it couldn't match up to the first (Hey, not much can.) So enjoy.
