Snabba Cash

Watch this if you want to get an idea of how Stockholm's criminal underworld is like now-a-days, it's pretty interesting and pretty damn accurate at times, and don't listen to the reviewer below "aidin-mahjouri", he has no idea what he's talking about it seems. Criminals in Stockholm (and pretty much every single kid in Stockholm) do speak like that (very heavy slang) and do horrible things and even worse things than you will see on this show.

It's a riveting if not a gloomy story. It vividly portrays the dire consequences of chasing easy money, particularly for 3 protagonists, namely, Leya (Evin Ahmed), Salim (Alexander Abdallah) and young Tim (Ali Alarik), who have different reasons to want to get rich quick.

Acting is great for the main protagonists as well as for those in supporting roles such as Dada Fungula Bozala (Ravy) and Olle Sarri (Tomas Storm). Plot development is on point. Script is well-written devoid of unnecessary scenes and execution couldn't be better.

What seems to be novel about the film is that the story is told from the point of view of Muslim migrants in their neighborhoods surprisingly in Sweden. This is the first time I watch a movie in this context.

The settings, realism and the charachters are not something were used to in Swedish cinema.

Its a swedish top boy/gomorra and THE best swedish portrayal of a crime of life which is the actual daily life of more people in Sweden than ever.

Finally something that feels genuine.

I watched this directly after Braqueurs, another series featuring Muslim immigrants and organised crime but set in France. I have to say that Snabba Cash was superior. For a start, there was the sub plot of Leya's start up needing cash so the action was not so relentlessly set in crack dens and poor immigrant areas. There was less of the unbelievability of baddies getting killed by revolvers when they were using assault rifles. It seemed far more real.

The acting was on the ball and the settings were real. I particularly liked Alexander Abdallah as Salim whose brooding good looks infused the series.

There is scope for a second season after the events of the final episode. If it is ever made, I'll be watching it.

Good acting. Real intense and realistic!

Totally not predictable plots.

Can not wait till the next season.
