Ett sista race

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
