Purely Joyful Movie!
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.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
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.
While the previous movie ("I Kina spiser de hunde") was a sort of tribout to "Pulp Fiction", celebrating the Travolta influence to film- making, this has great references to the best traditions of Danish movie-making.But - let me emphazise that: ... both movies are masterpieces of great entertainment by itself.The surprisingly story never seizes to amaze you. But maybe I should warn you: I am 46 years old and several (if not the majority!) of my ... generation... don't seem to enjoy these movies...
This is by no way a great movie, as in something that will make movie history, but it is one of the funniest and most entertaining movies I have seen in a long time. It is more violent than I Kina spiser de hunde, but the violence is more cartoonish.
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.
