Easy Money: Le dernier souffle

And so concludes a Scandinavian crime thriller along the lines of other triptychs like Department Q and Pusher. I like these films because, in spite of their faults, they are still intriguing. Snabba Cash is no exception. I thought the handsome Swedish guy was going to be the main character but it turned out to be the Serb's daughter and the Spaniard. Who knew? Recommended? Sure, why not. Could've been worse.

No pun intended - the conclusion of the Easy Money (aka Snabba Cash) trilogy. Although there is a tv show with that name that may be worth my and everybody elses time of course. But let's dig in at the movie at hand here. I assume you have seen the previous two movies. That is a given - there won't be too much looking back in the movie itself either. So if you do not know your characters ... you may not have the full experience here.

That being said, certain characters take a back seat - at least on the surface. Because while some are gone (one major character from the first two movies died in the second movie), we get introduced to new people ... but also see others in new light. While I wasn't sure what could be done and said after the first movie ... the triolgy showed me that even if not planned (I doubted it in my review of the first movie from 10 years ago), we get quite a few new conclusions ... you may not agree with all of them ... maybe some twists may feel a bit stretched ... especially towards the end ... but good or bad ... I think we finally reached the end ... and overall the good conquers the bad (no pun intended) ...

Overall, a solid ending to a well crafted gangster trilogy. Joel K. only has a handful of scenes, which is the primary weakness in an otherwise nicely done film. I do want to read the books on which these films are based. And that is a good sign from my perspective.

This story is all over the place. It is horribly edited. Instead of moving forward in a linear fashion, each scene skips ahead and then retells the story with flashbacks over ominous music. The time frame throughout the movie is ridiculous. One minute dude is drunk on a beach on one side of the planet, the next he appears at the front gate on the other side of the planet. And where is Joel Kinnaman? His scenes are completely detached from the movie and he appears in like a total of 5 minutes of the movie. I don't know if the book is better, but this movie literally makes no sense. The only reason you will find it interesting is if you are vested in the first two movies so that you know the characters. But still it doesn't make it that much better. If you haven't watched the previous movies you will definitely be lost.

I came across this trilogy simply by seeing a trailer. I thought that it would be a straight flick about the mob but it wasn't. It's a typical Swedish flick or trilogy by which I mean, it moves slow, it's full of subplots and you just ants to know how things will work out.

If you haven't seen the first two episodes then you can't pick in on this one and even as you may have seen the other you it still can be confusing.

This one has the best action and in the trilogy. even as it isn't a well known trilogy, it is still worth picking up.
