Critics Consensus

Snabba Cash (Easy Money) cuts a cube of Nordic noir whose taut storytelling packs an extra dose of hard-hitting heft.

Anna Smith metro.co.uk It's overlong and a little muddled in the third act but still a thrilling, energetic watch. Sep 6, 2017 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Easy to watch, then, but hard to champion as a must-see. Rated: 3/5 Jul 19, 2013 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Fast-moving, plausible and smart. Rated: 4/5 Jul 18, 2013 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens [A]s the film ends we are left with many questions about many people. But not to fear, Easy Money 2 is coming our way... Nov 26, 2019 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Espinosa crafts some wonderfully tense sequences from conventional tropes.

Audience Member First in a series of three films - watch in order as the storyline develops. Poor Swedish guy, JW, gets dragged into the brutality of the hidden, criminal clashes of the different ethnic mafias in Sweden. What is strong about this film is the gradual build up of the characters, with their varying loyalties, their strong codes of honour, which forces them into acts of brutality. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review seán m Great film although veers toward cliche towards the end. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Every inch a thriller with a proper all-bets-are-off finale, and a clever reworking of ancient themes of family, love and treachery. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Three men and their girls./ Messy Swedish gangdom:/ And no one is bad.
