This movie was made for one single purpose: To stage as many stunts as possible. The plot is brain dead and the morale juvenile and pretty terrifying.
The violence has no purpose at all but to give the stunt team a chance to show off. Not that the stunts are that great by international standards - they seem to be much like the "wow - look at all those bloody exit wounds"-stunts the same Spang-Olsen brothers staged for Danish TV-series during the eighties. Just bigger and more expensive this time.
The story line sucks.... big time. It's like the stunt team made a list of the stuff they wanted to make, and then the author made the plot fit this wish list. The plot is so stupid and noncoherent that you've got to laugh. The writer, Anders Thomas Jensen, tries to make it all come together in one of these Tarantino "it's all coming together´in the end'-endings and fails terribly.
The racist jokes just aren't funny - only stupid - and the violence is acted out way too cynically. The way the lead characters brutally guns down every one around them is absolutely without any irony. These facts makes the movie more a fascist statement than the funny action comedy it might have been supposed to be.
I give it 3/10: 1 for the stunts (well, OK for Danish standards), 1 for Nicolai Lie Kaas and 1 for Thomas Willum Jensen who are both splendid actors. What the h... are those guys doing in this movie?
