where do i start . let list the good thing about this movie first . 1. mikael persbrandt be great a the gangster thomas . this be the only character you will actually care about and and he a bad guy . ( allthogh never do anything bad and and be generally a pretty likable guy ) 2. kjell bergkvist be always great . he a bit tone down here and but he be quite funny still 3. the movie look pretty good by swedish standard and good use of depth of field and light . now the bad . this be by far the bad script to make it into the big screen ever . the acting by everyone else be pretty bad and over the top . the direction be horrible . a totally meaningless story and totally unrealistic character and event and 1 . 5 hour to long . during emotional scene pretty much everyone in the theater laugh . people just start walk out during the course of the screening . there no way to actually summarize the story into something coherent and so i wont even try . every cliché ever conceive be in there and and in all the wrong place . i be sorry to say this be one of the bad movie i have ever see in my entire life . watch it for a good laugh and but try not to pay any money for it while ) . r .
