This is a complete crap movie packed with disturbing violence, poor dialog and dull music.
****** SPOILER ALERT ****** The movie starts out as a poor C action movie with lots of violence and some wrongs who needs to be righted. And so it runs for 1 hour and 50 minutes and the viewer thinks that the "hero" is gonna settle things and get justice. Instead he gets mashed up by a Pakistan gang together with the biggest prick in the movie and so all the bad guys wins, and the hero is left laying in a pile of blood, blinking his eyes twice before it fades to black. Woah, way to go...NOT! I believe that the filmmaker and star Aksel Henie intended for us to cry and weep after watching this movie, but it simply does NOT work at all. Building up a lot of anticipation of justice for the hero, and then let him get mashed up and probably killed, is not good.
It's like putting together a movie who starts out like Sylvester Stallones Rambo and then just before the end, insert Milos Forman's "Valmont" or "Amadeus" with the sad ending, and expect people to think that the movie was brilliant and make the audience cry and weep. It doesn't work that way. If one wants to make a brilliant sad movie, then the movie needs more to it, then just a hero, some bad guys and lots of violence and injustice.
This poor made action-movie could have worked if the hero succeeded in getting justice for him and his family.
****** End of spoiler ****** If you are looking for a good Norwegian movie, then steer away from this one because it sucks so badly!!!
