User Reviews

A danish masterpice

This movie should, and will I think, be in the same discussion as the quite legendary movies Pusher and other movies such as. I get why some don't get along with the way they sometimes talk, but it's a truthful description of the environment. It's got a thrilling sense to it's plot, a bit cliché maybe yes, but I think for Danish but also internationally it got a great story! And oh boy, as they say, save the best for last! The soundtrack in this one produced by Jens Ole McCoy, a fantastic and well known musician back home in Denmark, and in this one he more than expected I would say - it's the cream of the crop.
