Strul

6.4/10 (Recommend)

The whole wrongfully imprisoned thing is what caught my eye for this one, but I didn't exactly watch enough of the preview to realize it was a foreign language film. So once again it's a balancing act of enjoying what's on-screen while trying to understand context by reading the subtitles.

This was an enjoyable film. It's a very standard film that is predictable if you're smart enough, but I didn't catch certain things soon enough. That being said, even though I felt a little foolish, I still enjoyed the film.

I liked the chemistry of the actors, the story had already caught my eye, and despite the 98 minute runtime you still get a complete beginning, middle, and end completion that is satisfying. A few things feel a bit beyond realistic, but it doesn't take away.

I would watch it again because it's entertaining and engaging. It's fun, and has a satisfying end. The chemistry of actors is good, and the cuteness between Filip Berg and Amy Deasismont is what kind of kept me going until the end. Again, it is a generic story about a wrongful conviction and a man just trying prove his innocence, but good chemistry keeps you until the end.

That's it for now. Thanks for taking time to read my review. Happy watching and enjoy the show!

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!

Better than I thought. I felt like the humor fell pretty flat mostly. So in that aspect it was not that funny and not many laughs. But, as an action movie I found it quite entertaining. It kept me on the edge of my seat at some points and was actually very exciting throughout a large part of the movie with a few plot twists and well made action scenes. Some parts did not logically make sense to me but it really doesn't matter and does not effect my overall opinion of the movie.

My rating is honestly 6.5 but since it's not possible I'd rather give the benefit of the doubt - a 7, because of the fact that I was entertained.

Watched this movie yesterday. Checked it out because the premise seem good. 1- Storyline was fun and quirky. 2- acting was good. 3- comedy was funny but quite European which is extra quirky. 4- the flow of the movie is good and they build character quite well. 5- No political nonesense or characters being superheroes because they belong to some special section. Summary - low budget movies are a scarcity in mainstream media over the last decade. Hopefully more movies like this will make a return. The 1990's were the golden age of such movies. I really had a lot of fun watching this and it kept me on edge for the entire movie.

For us who saw the original version I think we all said, oh no, not another remake. I had very low expectations but is very glad that I did see this version. Great remake with action, fun, glimt to the old version with respect. Gladely surprised! Great to use not the most famous actors, even if we in Sweden knows some of them, made it better I would say. For a Swediah movie, this was made for viewers also outside the Nordic countries, thank you for that. Surprised over the plot, action, comedy (typically swedish). Think the actors and all crew should be proud. We have seen so many bad attempts on remakes, at last, a goid one. Will this movie be nominated for an Oscar, hell no. But a great family movie on a weekend. Enjoy.
