Very forgettable. It tries to be an Icelandic Pusher but fails. There just isn'#39;t enough plot to drive the movie forward and Disco Stu (Damon Younger) cast as the ultimate badass gangster isn'#39;t believable at all. A movie needs more than occasional violence and shots of people smoking. Come to think of it I really don'#39;t think I'#39;ve ever seen so much smoking in a movie before, if one was to do a drinking game and take a shot ever time someone lights up a cigarette it would be suicide by alcohol poisoning for sure.

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.
