Ett sista race

I don't really know if this is a children's film or a film for older people. In any case, it scores the best points for a bit of nostalgia, with retired Swedish comedians. But beyond that, there's not much that's fun. But there are many half-hearted attempts. Or is the humor so intelligent that it only makes fun of bad American cultfilms? I really don't know.

Only Johan Glans is funny on a few occasions. The story offers no surprises. Anyone could have made this funnier, or less ridiculous.

It's not enough to have several talented municipalities in place. There must be feeling and self-criticism.

If you as a Swede want to see a Swedish car movie, this is absolutely worth seeing, but it should be said that the Norwegian original from 2014 was better, funnier and had better scenery. You should see this Swedish version first The original also seemed to have a larger budget for the time, had more racers, was a longer race with a legendary finish line, and had better stunts, more laughs depending on your sense of humour.

The race antagonist was as in the original supposed to be pathetic and childish, but in this he is just too pathetic to care about beating. The police antagonist in this movie was a woman with finnish-swedish accent, and is hard to compare to the original they both played very well as the classic arch nemesis of the main character. Personally I find the Norwegian version more believable.

The Tesla driver, Johan Glans was hilarious, but I was hoping for more.

David Hellenius is behind the script and plays the main role himself together with all kinds of established actors. Unfortunately, it won't be particularly fun or exciting either. Anyone who has seen the films about Göta Kanal will recognize the humor, predictable jokes lined up together with funny characters.

However, there are well-made drone scenes of cars racing along the roads, nice crashes and well-made stunt scenes.

If you want to kill time and turn off your brain, it fits well, but if you want to challenge your intellect, you should definitely not watch this one. The film is definitely aimed at the younger audience.

40 minutes in and I haven't even smiled yet.

Is this supposed to be a movie for kids or what's the deal here?

Starring some of the biggest names in Sweden, including hollywood actress Malin Åkerman, you would expect much more.

The acting is bad from basically everyone and there's not a single edgy joke in it.

That's why I genuinely wonder if this is supposed to be a movie for kids aged 6-12.

How can you gather so many big names and then put this crap out?

Someone wrote "so bad it actually gets great!" NO! It's not one of those movies.

This is just bad and nothing else.

I think i read that there will be a sequel.

Hopefully that one might be one of those at least.

Most of this movie was a bit funny, but most of the plot was copied from the Norwegain movie called Børning aka Burning, that came out many years ago, 2014 I think. The Børning movie also got 2 follow up movies to make it series. The second one came out in 2016 and the 3rd one came out in 2020.

Anyone who has seen the Norwegian movie will recognize several scene all over the movie. Why they have copied so much from that movie in this movie I do not know, but clearly the writers was hoping no one would remember the original movie from Norway that was called Børning that came out 2014.

But I can guess that most people do not know where those ideas comes from, so the company figured out that they could rewrite the store 10 years later and make a very similar movie and earn a heap of money.

It only get worse from there as the actors in this movie just don't do so good with the characters that was done in the original movie.

So I will suggest that instead of seeing this movie, you go and see if you can find Børning (2014) and watch that instead because it is a lot better.
