Børning: Rápidos e Perigosos

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!"

Cars and wading are always an interesting equation. A little skeptical of starting to watch a Nordic production wobble film, which really surprised.

The plot now is nothing very miraculous. Interesting and funny characters, though not terribly deep into these. The style comes to mind in Taxi movies, but the whole is something completely different. Sure, the plot is also pretty predictable, but I didn't let it interfere.

An entertaining and interesting whole, without any strange plot. I don't know if I can call a plot a movie where you essentially drive from place a to place b, even if things happen sometimes.

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

For first I just started to watch this film to improve my Norwegian language skills. I have seen lots of Norwegian films during in the last two years since I have started to learn the language, and to be honest the most of them was not so mention-able (expect the dramas and the comedies)... After the reviews I have expected some sort of a mix of the Frech taxi and the American Cannonball Race filmed among the beautiful Norwegian landscape. Actually I worried a bit, because I afraid it will be just a Nordic remake of those too film. But the Børning was just right. It did not wanted to be "more" than a comedy with good stunt driver work and with some gasoline-addict drive movie. I enjoyed it, it was absolutely entertaining. I would like to emphasis the genius of the actors. Lots of well- known Norwegian actors, for ex. Anders Baasmo Christiansen's (he can be familiar for the fans of the most talented Norwegian TV-series DAG) or Otto Jespersen (the "Trollhunter")... In addition the fun and the "car-porn" sometime the move has bit more deep meaning. I mean the relationship between father and daughter or the importance of friendship. Vaules that we generally overlook. I recommend the movie for wider range of audience, not just the hardcore fans of the Scandinavian films. To summarize it (in Norwegian to stylish) : Bra jobb! Det var gøy!:)

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.
