Overview
Ulrik (Stellan Skarsgard) is a somewhat gentle man, as far as gangsters go. Reluctantly back on the streets following a stint in prison, Ulrik's boss greets him with open arms and a plan to settle an old score. With a demented sense of professional pride, Ulrik's boss sets in motion a plan to right the wrong done to his star employee. The problem is Ulrik would rather go about his own business, however mundane, than get involved with his ragtag colleagues again. This dark feel good comedy delivers laughs and gasps in equal measure.
Reviews
"A pitch-perfect blend of darkness and sweetness, built around a masterful performance by a great actor." -- Salon.com"Cold-blooded killers rarely look this pathetic, which testifies to the impressive balance of Skarsgård's amusingly low-key performance." -- Indiewire"Played for laughs drawn from characters rather than funny lines, the Norwegian film is a charmer with Stellan Skarsgard for once in a role worthy of his attention." - The Hollywood Reporter"Skarsgard's utter finesse in the role provides a satisfying warmth." - Entertainment Weekly"Patiently directed by Hans Petter Moland, Ulrik’s journey back to life slowly draws you in." - NY Times
