Snabba cash

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.

This show hits the ground running. It is fast paced and emotional. The actors did an excellent job of depicting the hustle and life's struggles. I was impressed. Much love from Texas.

Watch this if you want to get an idea of how Stockholm's criminal underworld is like now-a-days, it's pretty interesting and pretty damn accurate at times, and don't listen to the reviewer below "aidin-mahjouri", he has no idea what he's talking about it seems. Criminals in Stockholm (and pretty much every single kid in Stockholm) do speak like that (very heavy slang) and do horrible things and even worse things than you will see on this show.

Over all solid acting and script. If you liked Top Boy you will probably like this series. I'm in three episodes and really appreciate it. Cinematography is great. A lot of it takes place in Stockholms "miljonprogram" areas (estates/projects) which is juxtaposed with more affluent environments.

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.
