🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Mats Arehn constructs a classic crime comedy that relies on the proven formula of a heist and revenge. He explores the dynamics of a dysfunctional gang with a light touch, using absurd gags and maintaining a steady pace where every setback fuels the next scheme.

Those who tire of overly serious capers will find a charming and witty caper here. What lingers after the credits is the delightfully crooked charm of its hapless protagonists. — MovieFinder Editorial
