There are not many movies you can watch over and over and still find them just as, or even more, entertaining than the first time. This is one of them.

This is by far the Coen brothers best work. The story is hilarious and sad at the same time. The actors all do an excellent job, especially William Macy, Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare. (Steve Buscemi is hilarious when he tries to get rid of a cop and after he has been shot!) The setting in the snowy, cold landscape makes the movie even more chilling than it already is. And all the little stories in between that has no direct connection with the story line makes it all very real. If you don't appreciate this movie, I guess you just don't like black comedies. A STRONG 9/10!

This is one of my all time favourite horror movies. I've also read the book and must say that this is maybe the most true to the book movie I have ever seen! Great acting, great filming and very creepy surroundings! VERY creepy!!

Norwegian film industry is known for terrible movies. When it teams up with Soviet film industry the result is already given. The movie is about a Russian boy who gets kidnapped by Norwegian vikings. The vikings think he means good luck and after some time he sort of becomes one of them. The main plot is this boring love story between him and a girl. They can't have each other because she is meant to marry someone else etc.etc. But the funniest thing about this movie is the complete lack of directing, complete lack of acting skills, and the artificial way ALL the dialog is spoken. The battle scenes are just hilarious. It looks like the actors are just doing what they feel like, and that they have been given no instructions at all. For example there is a scene where a character gets hit in the back with a sword, but since he is not meant to die there, absolutely nothing happens!

In the movie Ed Wood, Johnny Depp as Ed Wood says "Perfect!" after every scene shot, even when there are a lot of errors in the scene. That must be exactly the way this movie has been made. If you want a really fun time: Watch this and laugh!!
