Easy Money

Watchable drama with good story lines .....money and drugs doesn't bode well for anyone, least of all a student with two personas ....

The strength of diversity comes to Sweden. People from different ethnic backgrounds just have a hard time trusting each other, which I suppose is why crime syndicates tend to be based around kin groups. As depicted here they would otherwise be very dis-organized. On a minor point, I don't think I've ever seen a movie with so much slobber. Not saying that's bad. The honour of sweatiest movie was, I think, bestowed on Cool Hand Luke.

This film was very well directed, it had a good tight script and wonderful performances, especially by the ever great Joel Kinnaman. It had a lot of interwoven subplots that were hard to follow at times but overall it was a excellent film and very believable characters. Definitely the underbelly of Sweden. Worth watching.

What a complex story this one is. There are no less than four different factions at work in this Swedish film - Swedes, Spaniards, Arabs, and Serbs. Together, they make for a thriller glimpse into Sweden's dark drug underbelly, one which will NEVER be highlighted by Rick Steves' Europe. As with any drug film, there are copious amounts of white stuff as well as sex, music and violence. Snabba Cash is a well-written and planned out thriller. Recommended.

So the Swedish continue with the dark themes here. It's been a golden period for Swedish creative media following the success of TV series and books all seeming to concentrate on the dark side of life. This ain't no difference as our anti-hero is a young naive man over his head in the world of drugs and gangs. There's only one obvious solution to his problems and we are voyeurs watching this ride. We have a mostly low budget made movie (with admittedly annoying shaky camera work) which sees a wide range of local actors impressing showing the dark side of their life across the ethnic groups in Sweden. The story isn't anything complicated and it's mostly a ride for the viewer. Quite a cynical outlook across classes in Sweden, but you will easily relate some of this to your home countries. I liked it. It's nothing special necessarily but very much worth a watch, and you'll definitely want to watch more with two sequels to date having been made.

Much acclaimed this flick to be honest it's a trilogy and by seeing the first one you easily want to pick up the second one. Was it all that good as people and critics said and that even Hollywood had to remake it with Zac Afron. It's not that bad, it's not all about action, you will go deep into the characters and will start to know that the world of the mob is full of ego's going for themselves. Maybe some will turn their face away from this flick because it isn't an usual gangster flick. It's not all about shooting and killing and robbing. Here you will follow JW (Joel Kinnaman) who moves into the underground without really knowing it. But slowly he will learn the loyalty and tricks how to serve. You will love or hate this flick because it moves slowly forward and sucks you into the world of drugs and money. It's up to you to follow that world.

This starts off in a confusing and chaotic manner and doesn't get any better as the movie progresses. The shaky camera work makes you nauseous and the apparently improvised dialog and script points to a low budget movie that makes no sense at all. Expected more but this fails to deliver at all levels!

This is a stylish, intelligent thriller with good camera-work and lots of visual style. I liked the way the movie shows international crime as a very ugly business, without rules and with lots of violence. The way a greedy young student is slowly drawn into a world that is clearly not his, is intriguing. Some elements make this film stand out above the usual Hollywood-flicks - for example the way one of the criminals treats his little daughter. This is a nice thriller that doesn't slow down, with lots of action scenes and twists. It could have done without the hardly believable love story, but I can imagine the director needed to compensate the violence with some softer scenes.

A really good action thriller with interesting characters. I do NOT think that they are plain stereotypes without Drott. On the contrary. You feel for them and it's easy to get engaged in their lives and all they experience. The movie manages to bring forth some very sensitive moments as well as very brutal scenes with realistic violence. I especially likes the lighting when it comes to the technical part of Snabba Cash. I also liked the shots of some of the dialogue which i found innovative without being over the top. They made it very interesting to watch. I usually look the other when it comes to Swedish movies but I really enjoyed this one. I say watch it.
