Snabba Cash

If you liked series like "Gomorrah" or "top boy" You are going to love this one. Some of the choices they make are really stupid and makes me think what the heck the writers were thinking. But its a powerful and realistic filmatization.

I watched this directly after Braqueurs, another series featuring Muslim immigrants and organised crime but set in France. I have to say that Snabba Cash was superior. For a start, there was the sub plot of Leya's start up needing cash so the action was not so relentlessly set in crack dens and poor immigrant areas. There was less of the unbelievability of baddies getting killed by revolvers when they were using assault rifles. It seemed far more real.

The acting was on the ball and the settings were real. I particularly liked Alexander Abdallah as Salim whose brooding good looks infused the series.

There is scope for a second season after the events of the final episode. If it is ever made, I'll be watching it.

Awesome show BUT you have to watch it in original language! You cannot watch it with English dubbing. English version RUINS the show. Makes it so cheesy! The original is awesome trust me.

The settings, realism and the charachters are not something were used to in Swedish cinema.

Its a swedish top boy/gomorra and THE best swedish portrayal of a crime of life which is the actual daily life of more people in Sweden than ever.

Finally something that feels genuine.

It's a riveting if not a gloomy story. It vividly portrays the dire consequences of chasing easy money, particularly for 3 protagonists, namely, Leya (Evin Ahmed), Salim (Alexander Abdallah) and young Tim (Ali Alarik), who have different reasons to want to get rich quick.

Acting is great for the main protagonists as well as for those in supporting roles such as Dada Fungula Bozala (Ravy) and Olle Sarri (Tomas Storm). Plot development is on point. Script is well-written devoid of unnecessary scenes and execution couldn't be better.

What seems to be novel about the film is that the story is told from the point of view of Muslim migrants in their neighborhoods surprisingly in Sweden. This is the first time I watch a movie in this context.
