Storyline

Four small gangsters from Copenhagen trick a gangster boss: they take over 4,000,000 kroner which they were supposed to bring him. Trying to escape to Barcelona they are forced to stop in the countryside, in an old, wrecked house, hiding there for several weeks. Slowly, one after another, they realize, that they would like to stay there, starting a new life, renovating the house and forming it into a restaurant. But they can't avoid being caught up by their past. Written by Volker Merl <volko@foni.net>

Full with attitude
6 February 2003 | by (Finland) – See all my reviews

When I watched this film the first time, I didn't even know which movie I was watching. But it took me 15 min of watching to realize what a great movie it is. You can find anything in the movie Comedy, Drama, Romance, Action and it's a good mixture of it too.

Even though I didn't understand everything what they said in the movie I still think the actors were great. But you have to be a special type of person to like this movie, that's why it only has the grade 7,5/10

I would still give this movie 9/10 because I think it's an brilliant movie.
