    Storyline

    Edit
    Arvid is a regular bank clerk whose life changes radically when he knocks out bank robber Franz with his squash racket. A few days later, Franz's wife visits him lamenting that she needed the swag for an IVF. To obtain the money, Arvid and his criminal brother Harald plan a robbery, but it ends bloodily and drags them into real trouble. —Moritz Muehlenhoff <jmm@inutil.org>

    Great action film with great humour
    This is one of the greatest danish action movies ever! The characters are both cool and funny (especially the two chefs) some of the humour you probably have to be danish to understand, but the action is international. This is a movie that showes that Denmark can kick butt in the action genre. SEE IT - and the sequel!
