Børning

Started to watch because Netflix claim this would Be movie I want to watch.

It was. Awesome & fun.

Now watching part two.

So, i'll start this review by mentioning that this movie is not as serious as the trailer would imply.

This movie felt like a tribute to old car chase films, there's hints and nods to movies such as Dirty Mary crazy Larry and of course Fast and furious among others. The movie isn't taking itself seriously, which in my opinion made it easier to watch. Along with great scenery and some well built, tastefully modified cars.

It also makes fun of Scandinavian car fans, especially the young enthusiasts, this was great fun to watch.

If you're looking for an Oscar winner, look further. If however, you like cars, and car films, you should definitely see this one.

I'm not one for car/racing movies, so a big chunk of this movie did not really appeal to me. It's not a long movie, and a lot of it is cars driving on roads. The scenery is often nice, though.

But other than all the shots of cars driving (with some minor action in them), I like how this movie acknowledges the fact that it is Norwegian, and uses it to its advantage. It can't compete with Hollywood blockbusters in their game, but it can be something that's unlikely to come out of Hollywood. Some of this are just references that only Norwegians will understand (like a reference to Flåklypa Grand Prix), but it also shows itself in the mentality of the characters, and in some of the settings.

One of the few Norwegian movies that achieves a score higher than 5. In one and a half hour they made a laid back skater interested in cars, and made me laugh throughout the entire movie. Probably movie of the year for my sake, and I really hope they're making a sequel, cause this story can definitely be extended!! The music is perfectly matching the action in every single scene. Speaking of music, if someone has a list of the songs used in this particular movie, I'd be happy to get it :) Cause I'm in love with some of the songs used! With all of that being said, there's a ton of great movies coming out soon, but I highly doubt any of them will be able to top this one. "Børning makes the smell of Norwegian films disappear in the exhaust!"

A hilarious and charming action comedy with lots of heart, great scenery and nice driving scenes. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
