Storyline

Four small-time gangsters from Copenhagen trick a gangster boss: they take over 4,000,000 kroner which they were supposed to bring him. Trying to escape to Barcelona they are forced to stop in the countryside, in an old, wrecked house, hiding there for several weeks. Slowly, one after another, they realize, that they would like to stay there, starting a new life, renovating the house and forming it into a restaurant. But they can't avoid being caught up by their past. Written by Volker Merl <volko@foni.net>

Much better the second time.
28 April 2001 | by Icewall – See all my reviews

As I saw this movie, in cinema, I though it was funny, but in no way a match for "I Kina Spiser De Hunde" (1999). However, after re-watching in now, on DVD, I can say that I think much higher of it. Plenty of cool one-liners. An absurd, but still nice story-line. In fact, it was the absurdness that was the real humor of the flick. Immoral and violent? Definately, but that also makes it allot funnier. I had to give it 9/10, because it is definately worth several re-watchings. Fun for most of the family.
