I'm from norway and would like to comment the australian user comment for Schpaaa.

it is written:
___________________________________________________________________
" think why this is rated so lowly is that the plot is highly unbelievable, Im no expert on Norway, but i'm sure Oslo does not have street kids that are involved with the Yugoslavian Mafia and deliver drugs and beat men up"
___________________________________________________________________
Well, it happens everyday, mate

___________________________________________________________________
"The lives of these kids (the youngest being 11) are harsh and damaged, they commit crimes by the dozen are are rebels from mainstream Norwegian society. I think if this had been set in New York or London, it would be alot more believable than in Oslo."
___________________________________________________________________
Why make it more believeable when it is true? THESE THINGS HAPPEN YOU KNOW
I'm not from oslo but i know the things going on there. im from a small town and i can familiarize with alot of the events in Schpaaa.

"Schpaaa" is about five boys between the age 12-16, who lives in Oslo East. Drugs, skipping school, beating up people, robbing shops and stealing is a part of their everyday life. I think the movie is really great and very realistic.

Hey jaydegunz!
You are right, this happends in Norway, it happend more in the 90's but I know a lot of kids grown up in the same world as these kids. Those who wrote the comments you commented are naiv.

This happened more in the 90s (when the movie was made) than now.
But yes, it is believable.
