(Daniel
Espinosa/2010/Sweden)
A crime
thriller that winds three stories around each other quite
successfully to keep the story engaging and moving til the end.
There’s a low level drug dealer involved with an Albanian crime
gang, a hitman for a rival Serbian gang and a young Swedish man
living a double life posing as a wealthy playboy by day and
moonlighting as a taxi driver whilst studying to try and fund his
fake lifestyle. Their three lives become inextricably linked and
dependant on each other. The level of character development and
realness of their situations goes a long way to raising the story
above the usual crime thriller plot but where it goes slightly awry
is ending as a kind of morality tale. Doing bad things is bad mmkay.
But this aside it’s a decent watch and surprisingly pacy for a
Swedish crime drama.
(2.5/5)
