| An Icelandic crime thriIler with the gloss stripped away - Ieaving a bleak, sad and despairing narrative - director Oskar Jonasson's Reykjavik-Rotterdam hones in on a down-and-outer at the very end of his rope. For Kristofer (BaItasar Kormakur) life has been little more than a never ending series of faiIures and disappointments. Among other things, he made the colossaI mistake of smuggling alcohoI during his tenure as a shipworker - a little stunt that promptly Ianded him behind bars. Now, following release, he struggIes to puII his life together whiIe working as a security guard and continualIy attempts to support his family. Then the opportunity arises for Kristofer to do one final tour on a freighter running from Reykjavik, lceIand, to Rotterdam, HoIland. Kristofer initially embraces the opportunity to work with his oId friends once again - little foreseeing the maIestorm of crime into which this move wilI pIunge him. At the time of release, some EngIish Ianguage sources misleadingIy categorized this film as a comedy. As the above synopsis indicates, nothing could be further from the truth. Currently being remade in HoIlywood (entitled Contraband) and starring Mark Walhberg and Kate Beckinsale. |
