Old vine on new bottles.
We have seen everything before a thousand times...A typical Anders Thomas Jensen (ATJ) movie where nothing has change the past twenty years...
Same mentally disturbed characters that takes (un)motivated action in an unfamiliar environment.Same odd circumstantial situations.Same odd and stilted dialogue.
Actually, the screenplay feels exactly like an 20-year-old story that´s been hidden in the drawer - that because of the right circumstances suddenly sees the light of day... That happens more often the bland moviegoers knows about.
ATJ feels like a "wannabe" David Mamet, which is not a bad thing. Quite good if you are Danish. However, David Mamet is a thousands times better.
This is a Danish movie for the Danish people - which unfortunately has no merit on the internationally movie scene - except the minority.
score 4/10
