Wow, what a cracking film. Never a dull moment, much better than many films a bit like it and not to be missed. Everything is right about it. Don’t want to spoil the plot, but a Swedish Netflix series seems to be based on this film and it’s good, but not as good as this.
A super-heated crime movie that does a workmanlike job of keeping the interest going throughout.
If anything the sheer pace makes for shallow characterisation. In particular, it's hard to see why the wife, Sylvia, remains supportive to her violent gangster of a husband for as long as she does.
Even after he has burned down her friend's salon, murdered one of his friends and generally been at the centre of gory mayhem, Sylvia turns down police help and tries to go it alone.
But it's a serviceable enough tale for a rainy lockdown afternoon.
