Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
aeskild Spoiler alert: When the scroll texts appear, it means you're close to actually making it through this school example of a trashy movie picture. The original category pick by both director and writer surely meant to be something inbetween action/comedy and a psychological drama. Trash however, is the most describing category into which this flick is catapulting itself. Few scenes with some humorous or dramatic potential, soon get spoiled through a talentless script, unforgivable clipping errors, as well as through the flawless ability of all characters, surrounding the medium well played main character Frank set into scene by Thomas Bo Larsen, to kill any hint of substance of reality. The list of positive aspects about this movie sadly includes, nothing more, nothing less, than "the movie is not a waste of time as long as you don't watch it". Only reason for not going further into the analysis of this movie picture, is merely because I don't think it deserves it. Two stars both go to Thomas Bo Larsen, for doing his part of the job. AE
yohannamark I saw this Danish Feature Film at The Umeå Film festival and found it very special. The whole film takes place in a car (an ambulance) and it all takes place in real time. These two elements themselves give the film a very special atmosphere. Maybe the experiment doesn't work all the way trough the film, but at least it's very original. And the story about the two brothers actually touched me.I will recommend you to see the film if you meet it at a festival. At least you'll get to see something you haven't seen before. ANd the Danish actor Thomas Bo Larsen (who was also in the film Festen) is brilliant as the big brother. I didn't know the other two actors, but they were also giving good performances.
prik I think this is a different kind of action film, actually more a drama than a comedy. I was very fascinated by the shots inside the body with the heart and the blood veins. And the idea about the story taking place in real time also gives quite a special feeling to the film. Maybe it's not that original to cast Thomas Bo Larsen as the criminal, but it's nice to see the other two new faces in Danish cinema; Paw Heniksen and Helle Fagralid. I think they all do it very well in this intense and original little road movie.It reminded me about Phone Booth with only one location and real time. You don't really need anymore to make a good drama.
andersgroth Thomas Bo Larsen displays yet another character as an imbecile criminal from Copenhagen. The movie doesn't bring anything new to the Danish movies and he's seen in this role dozens of times before. The action scenes are not many and not so entertaining at all. It simply needs action to have at least something worth seeing.The best scene of the film is the opening scene from whereon everything goes wrong.It's hard to see what the movie wants to contribute with. After I saw it I felt a bit of having wasted my own time on it. The twists the movie tries to give are way to easy to predict.The whole plot of the movie is way better on paper that on film.
