Very enjoyable Dark Comedy


Anyone else who liked this?

I loved it.
Detractors say it`s not a classic.
Granted, but how often do they come along ?
`Headhunters` was very good too, whereas the book was pants - although I`m much more of a reader than movie watcher.
The only Nesbo novel I enjoyed was what I read so far of `The Snowman` (albeit not a lot).
Re the `Jackpot`film again, I particularly liked the Norwegian cultural references ; ie football, etc.
I`ve seen it twice now, which is not something I do a lot.
`Troll Hunter` was tremendous too.
And to broaden the discussion to The Nordic Countries, `Rare Exports` was a gem also.
Keep `em coming !
Yours Gratefully,
Brian.

Yes, really enjoyed this. Very dark humour and violent, but the violence is so over the top that it's funny rather than horrifying or sickening.

Don't look for an intricate plot, it is what it is, but it's a lot of fun and to be fair, I didn't see the big reveal at the end coming.

9/10
