The Final Race

I am sure that worse things has been produced before. But throw in a large budget and a stellar cast and this must take some kind of prize, such as "the worst utilized movie budget ever" or "it should be impossible to fail but still they managed".

Now, I am a man that cannot stand the Swedish "buskis" genre. I despise Markoolios mother. I loath "Morran and Tobias". So, if you are like me, then just stay away from this utter rubbish.

However, should be avid followers of the above stuff, then maybe this is actually something for your demented brain to dwell upon. If you have absolutely no taste, combined with a very low IQ: Then go ahead!

A remake of the Norwegian 2014 movie Børning with what is supposed to be the Swedish comedian elite. The script is a mix put together from Børning and the sequels Børning 2 (2016) and Børning 3 (2020) but the Norwegian original is better in all aspects.

It seems they try to make it stick with a series of funny situations but unfortunatly is the acting almost embarrassing and the dialog is even worse. However, as a total failure in all aspects it is almost amusing in all the embarrassment.

There are actually some ussually good actors in the movie but their performance here are doubtful. The most refreshich impressions are from the younger, not established actors.

The cut is traditional in all aspects.

I recoment the three norwegian films bofore this one every day of the week.

These are actually some of Sweden's best comedians, as well as a couple of Sweden's best acters. The only exception is David Hellenius, who unfortunately has the lead role but has never been either a good actor, script writer or a good comedian, ( David must be Sweden's most overrated person he feels like that kid who really doesn't fit in the football team but whose father sponsors the whole team therefore he gets to be in and also gets the most playing time ) . But everything really just can't be blamed on David Hellenius' poor acting, even if it clearly drags the film down even more. The dialogue in the film does not feel natural, the jokes are not funny, the adventure/action scenes are not exciting, there is 0 racing feeling or sense of speed, there is no structure that makes it exciting or makes you feel annything with any of the characters. A really bad movie, don't let the cast fool you. That it has 5.3 here is a wonder.

This is probably the most horrible rip-off in the history of mankind. And to ad insult to injury, it's a rip-off of not one, but two movies in one go.

The original movies, Børning 1 & 2, may not be masterpieces, but they do catch the feel and the essence of the old Hal Needham movies, and I do like them a lot.

This, however, is sad enough to make a grown man cry, and I urge you to spare yourselves.

Malin Åkerman. You played Laurie Jupiter in 'The Watchmen', and damn if you didn't make me proud to be from Sweden when I saw your performance in that movie. You have acted together with Forest Whitaker and Bruce Willis in 'Catch 44' and done a wonderful job doing so. How in the world did you en up in this travesty?

The rest of the Swedish cast may or may not have had much of a choice, but you should have stayed the hell away from this.

Bottom line? Stay away from this. Watch Børning 1&2 instead.

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.
