Trouble

The non-English language films that are released on the global streaming service NETFLIX always allow for small discoveries. This is also the case with this crime comedy from Sweden, which is a remake of a story (STRUL / AUSGETRICKST by Jonas FRICK) from 1988.

The divorced television technician Conny (Filip BERG) is suspected of murder due to crazy circumstances and is sentenced to a long prison sentence. But there are inconsistencies that the busy police officer Diana (Amy DEASISMONT) comes across during her research. She does everything she can to convince the responsible inspector Helena Malm (Eva MELANDER) of her findings.

The director Jon HOLMBERG does not tell a world-shattering new story here, but he does so with such a sense of humor and sense of time that it is a lot of fun to watch his film. The cast is also excellent, which is particularly evident in the prison scenes. You can still see the Danish Olsen Gang as an example.

The main actors: Filip BERG is known as the young Ove in the successful Swedish film A MAN CALLED OVE / EN MAN SOM HETER OVE. Amy DEASISMONT was also a singer before her acting career. In 2008, she took eighth place at the Swedish MELODIFESTIVALEN, which is the country's preliminary round for participation in the EUROVISION SONG CONTEST. Eva MELANDER is best known for her role in BORDER.

Fast-paced, exciting and very funny! Recommended!

Watched this on Netflix. I watch a few movies with subtitles, I use CC most the time anyways. But Netflix (maybe others) offers a lot of foreign movies with dubs, and these dubbing actors, they do a really good job. For instance, the very last line of the movie was uttered perfectly. But here's what I'm trying to say. This movie was fun. Simple as that. At first, you feel lyourself smacking your forehead a couple of times and then you realize ... it's a comedy, duh. The rest is easy peasy

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!

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.

This is one of the most entertaining and exciting comedy movies I've seen in years. A bit unrealistic in some cases but the characters make up for it with interest. The main character really need a standing ovation for his simple yet brilliant role as conny.

It feels like 3 movies in one with not a single boring moment. We didn't know where the film was heading with 40 minutes left.

A perfect family movie / perfect entertainment that shouldnt listen to the critics. Me and my girlfriend loved this film and saw it for what it was.: perfect light entertainment to be enjoyed at home in front of the tv.
