Directed by Óskar Thór Axelsson, written by Óskar Thór Axelsson and Stefán Máni, produced by Arnar Knutsson, Thor Sigurjonsson and Skuli Fr. Malmquist.
Average viewer score of 5.9/10 from 76 ratings.
A template gangster movie that with little adaptation could be set anywhere in Europe in the last thirty years or so. Satisfies an urgent need for action and is easily forgotten after. The story is as predictable as can be and characters fill their cut out roles. Worth mentioning is the well performed, although one dimensional, crime lord Bruno by Damon Younger. Not a bad movie for its genre but also nothing special.
