Pizza King is a fast-food joint where a group of young second-generation immigrants hang out, pass the time of day and swap stories. Junes is the one guy with his head screwed on correctly but he finds it difficult to get out of the gang. His friend Bobby is the devil-may-care type and when the two friends finds themselves landed with 25 kilos of cannabis during a burglary, a conflict arises. Written by L.H. Wong <lhw@sfs.org.sg>
It would be untrue to call this film a masterpiece but never the less it is a film with a lot of qualities. A story about four friends with an Islamic background living in Copenhagen. We follow them through ups and downs, mostly downs, and get an insight into their enviroment. The main characters all act brilliantly but Janus Nabil Bakrawi and Ali Kazim stand out. I do have one small problem with the film. I think it is sad that we have to see so many stereotypes, both among the Islamic characters as well as the Caucasian. Still I think this film should be included as teaching material in the Danish school system. Especially with the rising racial tensions in our society.
