User Reviews

Perfect combination of Drama and Criminal thriller ...

Snabba Cash – Easy money – CATCH IT (B+) Swedish Snabba Cash is a perfect example of thrilling drama. From outer side the movie may looks like an action bonanza but from inner side its emotionally connected thriller which takes us into the lives of criminals or just I say criminal minded. Based upon the bestselling book, the movie is refreshing and amalgamation of emotional drama and thrilling violence is just perfect. On one side it shows how far a man can go to be rich so he can be part of the wealthy society of Stockholm and on the other side how far a man can go to protect his child from his criminal life. Joel Kinnaman has emerged as superstar, he literally owns the movie. Stylish, chic and poor/rich seriously this man does everything greatly. Watching this after The Killing and cameo in Safe House makes me admire his potential and there is no doubt his future is bright. Lisa Henni is gorgeous. Dragomir Mrsic is great as protective father and the criminal. All the other supporting cast is fantastic. Overall, Snabba Cash is really entertaining thriller and now I cannot wait to see Snabba Cash2.
