I Kina spiser de hunde

I am always a bit shy when it comes to laughing out loud, especially when i'm alone, but this movie has almost therapeutical qualities. In the beginning i was a bit astonished about the sheer and unexpected brutality that occurs quite sudden after a very soft entry. But pretty soon i realised the twinkling in the author's eye, and i started to laugh 'til i almost fainted. The dialogues are captivating, the characters convincingly weird and Arvid's decline follows some unforgettable kind of crude and funny "inevitabilism". This is the funniest actioncomedy i've seen for years. Refreshingly different, astoundingly perfect. A true recommendation not only for friends of the genre. I will buy it on Video or DVD, my highest private ranking.

I was wondering why this movie just got a 7.something - saw the very first comments on this and got kind of angry. What the heck went wrong with you guys? Why need to compare this masterpiece by a boring Tarantino? Seems the director got some jealous friends. But never-mind, its nearly 10 years ago.

The Main-characters: Arvid, Harald, Vuk and the cooks went out to make danish movies famous, and thats what just happened: Im going to watch them all.

Take it as it comes: this movie is simply a must - great cast and an awesome dirty story. This one belongs into the the all-time 250 hall.

First time you'll laugh, second time you'll explore all the fine acting, finally and third time, you'll become jealous about killing a rock'n roll-band. Who has never dreamed about it ;)

I Kina Spiser de Hunde(In China They Eat Dogs) is a Danish version of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. It's a combination of comedy, drama and action with lots of black humor. Fact that movie is written like all Danish mega hits by Andreas Thomas Jensen was good enough for me to watch it.

Kim Bodnia is absolutely fantastic in this movie, playing a ruthless villain and psychopath who also has his tender side, love for his brother. Dejan Cukic, Tomas Villum Jensen and Nikolaj Lie Kaas alongside Vuk are responsible for funny situations. And Serbians mob complete the circle which makes this movie so enjoyable and makes you wanna watch the sequel Gamle mænd i nye biler(Old Men in New Cars).

*Nikolaj Lie Kaas made his breakthrough with this movie and we all know that he is alongside Mads Mikkelsen and Ulrich Thomsen best actor in Danish cinematography for the past 15 years.

This is a very funny movie that entertains you all the way. Something happens from the beginning through the end. Even during the subtitles people stayed, to hear the last jokes. Many of the things happening has been done before, but here is added some typical Danish black humor. Like when one guy, shoots another guy, and then calmly asks him to shut up. And even though the poor guys brain is all over the room, you can't help laughing. I think there are 22 killings in the movie, but it's done in a way, so you never takes it serious. You are always aware that this is a movie, and it's all just for fun.

I think it can be compared to Pulp Fiction, for the way people gets killed, and to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels in the way the main characters are trying to raise money, with all the problems and killing this leads to.

I will give this a 9 of 10, because it's a little superficial, and not totally original, but I haven't laughed so much for a long time. Not since I saw the other new Danish top comedy Den Eneste ene in the spring.

This is an entertaining crime comedy with an all-star Danish cast (Kim Bodnia, Dejan Cukic, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Trine Dyrholm, Jesper Christensen and many others) and a plotline reminiscing of films such as ''The Snatch'',''Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels'' or ''RocknRolla'', but retaining the special Nordic characteristics in crime fiction. The story revolves around the relationship between two brothers (played by Cukic and Bodnia), having totally different personalities and character traits from one another. This is a film that contains many funny -even sometimes hilarious- dialogue and scenes and it can be categorized into the ''black comedy'' genre. The acting is great, the action scenes are well-shot and overall ''In China They Eat Dogs'' is a movie that can be compared with the more expensive English and American productions. Here, we meet again the actor who impersonated Radovan in the ''Pusher'' trilogy by Nicolas Winding Refn, named Slavko Labovic in an almost identical role. The main antagonist in the film is the Serbian mafia, as usual in Scandinavian crime fiction books and tv productions, and Labovic is a kind of top henchman for the Serbs. In my opinion, this is a film that will be highly appreciated by the -many- fans of Danish cinema and Scandinavian crime film productions in general.
