( well and close enough ) . the film sketch out the dark reality of what have become of today work man ( or woman ) . it sole purpose be make people realise that life be too short to be materialistic . it try to show that small cliché thing and such a the sound of child play and should not be take for grant and because the moment you stop hear that sound and be the moment youre one step away from become a robot . the end of the film reiterate what happen when it too late to escape the mundane routine you have now become use to . you start to adopt the saying of if it ain not break and do not fix it and and become too comfortable to take a risk of change . even though this film be not to be take a a piece of realism . it message be more than real . the lack of empathy convey in the film and and that of which andreas see and be a bold statement of what life can become . the director and jens lien have put together a film and which in any other director hand would have fail . this be a fine piece of cinematic genius and and i eagerly await to see what he do next . the lead role and play by trond fausa aurvaag be perfectly cast . represent the average joe and trond provide a good catalyst in make this picture darkly humorous . the support actor also do an apt job and and for some reason and i feel that keanu reef would have be perfect in this film and a most of the support cast require their acting to be emotionless . the score for this film be beautifully compose . the recur theme be always a delight to listen to and and it provide a very sombre but welcome feel to the movie . set for a release date in the uk for 25th may 2007 and i will definitely be go to re live this experience on the big screen . this film have gain it way in my top 10. now quickly become my top 20. it have some shock scene and and be darkly humorous throughout . a must see .
