David M This work is nothing short of an astonishing piece of filmmaking, the direction is pitch perfect, the soundtrack is great, the cinematography is great, and as usual Stellan Skarsgard was masterful. The supporting characters are wonderful, it's a great story arc though it meanders at times, it's never dull, and this film is satisfying. This was perhaps my fifth viewing, and it really delivered. At the centre of the story, Nils (Stellan Skarsgard) is a soft-spoken snowplow driver who keeps the country roads in Norway clear and quietly endures abuse over the fact that he's Swedish. When his grown son is found dead, he refuses to believe it was a drug overdose. Abandoned by his grieving wife, he launches his own investigation, following the trail and quietly killing each thug up the chain as he tracks down the swaggering hothead mob boss who calls himself The Count (Pal Sverre Hagen). Along the way, he gets help from his ex-gangster brother (Peter Andersson), inadvertently re-igniting the war between The Count and rival Serbian mobster Papa (Bruno Ganz), whose own son has been caught in the crossfire. And the body count grows exponentially. The title refers to on-screen captions that offer a brief moment of respect for each person who dies along the way, which intriguingly puts every act of violence in perspective and on full view. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Fong Kok Hoong F The Norwegian title Kraftidioten means "The Moron" whilst the English title suggests a cheekier take to the body count marked by a death card with name and his religious symbol in this frigidly comedic and supercool Fargo-esque revenge drama about a bereaved snowplow driver bent on avenging the death of his son in the underworld gang warfare. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review Andy B A slick and entertaining black humoured thriller. Slightly one-note by the rather contrived ending, but a good film.

The whole film, however, always maintains a very harsh and austere atmosphere that makes it very special. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/22 Full Review Read all reviews
