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!

This was far better then i expected.
Theres been some time since i saw the original "Strul" from 1988, so i was pretty intrigued and interested when i saw the trailer for this reboot. I quickly recognised and was abit surprised of the wide range of familiar faces of the actors. Many famous Swedish actors in it.
This one was actually pretty good. Its one of these cozy, easy to watch, crime thriller/comedy.
I had some mixed feelings sometimes, because it lacks abit in the plot with some holes, but it manages to cover them up, with great acting and a pretty funny manuscript and storytelling.
Definitely worth watching!

This is one of the most entertaining and exciting comedy movies I've seen in years. A bit unrealistic in some cases but the characters make up for it with interest. The main character really need a standing ovation for his simple yet brilliant role as conny.
It feels like 3 movies in one with not a single boring moment. We didn't know where the film was heading with 40 minutes left.
A perfect family movie / perfect entertainment that shouldnt listen to the critics. Me and my girlfriend loved this film and saw it for what it was.: perfect light entertainment to be enjoyed at home in front of the tv.

Trouble is a very good comedy thriller. It is agood watch. I was not having a positive mind to watch this film. But as the film moved, started enjoying. Despite of the low budget Trouble is quite interesting film and better than big budget films with big starcast. Direction, story, script, editing and performances are superb. Besides, lengthwise, this film is short but moves at a great speed. Few times it gives feeling that oh the film ends so soon !!!! But then it takes a twist and moves on. Some of the punches made me laugh and felt sorry for the lead character. This film though there is no fights still it is full of action and thrills. Go for this film.
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.

- TriviaThis is a remake of Strul (1988), and there are several nods to that film, including:
- during the heist in the beginning, one of the characters is whistling the same tune that one of the characters in the first film sang repeatedly.
- the prison that Conny goes to in this film is named the same as one of the other inmates in the previous film, Gränges.
- the actor who played the main character in the original film (Björn Skifs) shows up in a cameo near the climax.
- a song sung by the original actor is played at two points in the movie.
- during the escape in the airport, one member of the SWAT team screams the same thing as one of the characters in the original film: "Stop! Can't you stop!" in the same tone of voice.
- after finding the tunnel leading out of the prison, Conny uses clothes that was stashed by the bad guys, and the tan leather jacket and red cap are very similar to the clothes that original Conny wears after breaking out, also stashed by the bad guys.
- the endings of both films hinges on showing someone a video of somebody committing a crime.
- GoofsWhen the police car crashes due to the shooting, following and at 45:23 there is no damage to the left front wheel visible.
