Now I know to avoid Åkerlund


This film was such a mess. It really is like two entirely different movies spliced together. The scenes with Mads (who is always great) and his neighbor are all engaging and good. Then it switches over to the filthy but bright colored assassin squad and I want to vomit. I became certain that this shit-is-art style film was directed by Rob Zombie. It is horribly directed, poorly cast (outside of the two I mentioned), and embarrassingly stupid. Written and directed by people actively on heavy heavy psychedelics to the point of not knowing what is going on around them let alone what they had done already.

I liked one or two action sequences but felt tortured for the duration of the movie. If you like Rob Zombie movies then this may be for you. I hated it. 2.5/10

So true... Åkerlund should stick to making music videos because he cannot handle movies...
