Trouble

The non-English language films that are released on the global streaming service NETFLIX always allow for small discoveries. This is also the case with this crime comedy from Sweden, which is a remake of a story (STRUL / AUSGETRICKST by Jonas FRICK) from 1988.

The divorced television technician Conny (Filip BERG) is suspected of murder due to crazy circumstances and is sentenced to a long prison sentence. But there are inconsistencies that the busy police officer Diana (Amy DEASISMONT) comes across during her research. She does everything she can to convince the responsible inspector Helena Malm (Eva MELANDER) of her findings.

The director Jon HOLMBERG does not tell a world-shattering new story here, but he does so with such a sense of humor and sense of time that it is a lot of fun to watch his film. The cast is also excellent, which is particularly evident in the prison scenes. You can still see the Danish Olsen Gang as an example.

The main actors: Filip BERG is known as the young Ove in the successful Swedish film A MAN CALLED OVE / EN MAN SOM HETER OVE. Amy DEASISMONT was also a singer before her acting career. In 2008, she took eighth place at the Swedish MELODIFESTIVALEN, which is the country's preliminary round for participation in the EUROVISION SONG CONTEST. Eva MELANDER is best known for her role in BORDER.

Fast-paced, exciting and very funny! Recommended!

For us who saw the original version I think we all said, oh no, not another remake. I had very low expectations but is very glad that I did see this version. Great remake with action, fun, glimt to the old version with respect. Gladely surprised! Great to use not the most famous actors, even if we in Sweden knows some of them, made it better I would say. For a Swediah movie, this was made for viewers also outside the Nordic countries, thank you for that. Surprised over the plot, action, comedy (typically swedish). Think the actors and all crew should be proud. We have seen so many bad attempts on remakes, at last, a goid one. Will this movie be nominated for an Oscar, hell no. But a great family movie on a weekend. Enjoy.

Better than I thought. I felt like the humor fell pretty flat mostly. So in that aspect it was not that funny and not many laughs. But, as an action movie I found it quite entertaining. It kept me on the edge of my seat at some points and was actually very exciting throughout a large part of the movie with a few plot twists and well made action scenes. Some parts did not logically make sense to me but it really doesn't matter and does not effect my overall opinion of the movie.

My rating is honestly 6.5 but since it's not possible I'd rather give the benefit of the doubt - a 7, because of the fact that I was entertained.

I was pleasantly surprised as I remember the original movie from 1988 to be one of my personal favourites of Swedish comedies.

This was even better in my personal opinion.

Excellent acting over all, especially the two main characters did a great job. Amy Deasismont, who played Diana may look like a teenager as some other reweier mentioned, but she was born in 1992 so she is not to young to be a police officer.

Quite a good mix of action and comedy, even a little bit of romance at the end. Nice to get a glimpse of Björn Skifs, who starred in the original movie from '88. They also added the hit song from his band back in the days, Hooked on a feeling. And yes, it's full of stupid people and weird coincidences, but after all it's a comedy.

Watched this on Netflix. I watch a few movies with subtitles, I use CC most the time anyways. But Netflix (maybe others) offers a lot of foreign movies with dubs, and these dubbing actors, they do a really good job. For instance, the very last line of the movie was uttered perfectly. But here's what I'm trying to say. This movie was fun. Simple as that. At first, you feel lyourself smacking your forehead a couple of times and then you realize ... it's a comedy, duh. The rest is easy peasy
