Poliisin poika
Detective Carlos crossed the border three times that night, but the fourth crossing was for his son. A rookie cop with a legendary, overbearing police chief for a father, Jussi must solve a small-town kidnapping to step out of a very long shadow. This 1998 Finnish TV movie blends crime procedural tension with sharp family comedy, exploring the absurdities of law enforcement and paternal legacy in a remote community where everyone knows your name—and your father’s badge number.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director walks a fine line between family drama and criminal farce, crafting a light yet ironic tone. The generational conflict takes on grotesque proportions as a cop's son conceals his father's criminal legacy from his colleagues.
This will appeal to viewers who enjoy absurd humor and unexpected plot twists. You'll find yourself observing a comedy of errors where every move leads to fresh ridiculousness. — MovieFinder Editorial
