I really don't know what or even if Scandinavians have problems with each other as depicted in the movie ... it seemed to be an inside joke that ran throughout the movie and although I'm not on the inside, like I said, I liked that! This movie is anything but PC. It's quirky, it dark and for some it might just be stupid. But I liked the characters and the approach (the movie does not take itself serious). Of course it has flaws, but it makes fun of them instead of trying to be something it can't be (a Hollywood action movie for example). So either you'll go to watch this being open for a dark humored action flick or you don't! :o)

My only reason registering to this site was for the opportunity to write a comment to this movie. I felt that I had to get rid of some of my anger by writing it off me. The movie "Babas bilar" must be just about the worst film I ever seen. I really do believe that the script may have seen to been able to become a pretty good movie or at least OK, but somewhere on the line something happened. What makes it even more odd is the fact that the cast appears to be quite alright on paper. Put to practice both script and the cast fails to deliver. There are to much action, it happens to much things and you can't help wonder why it happens. And then the cast, the actors make such a poor effort that you almost start to cry. If you have to much time at hand I would say you can see it. If not - don't.

Being an Non-Scandinavian, I'm not able to share the (justified?) disapproval of some of the other reviewers. So all native Scandinavians, please excuse my apparent ignorance;). Watching this movie on a SAS flight, I felt quite amused by this little gangster comedy involving Finns, Swedes, Norwegians, Arabs and Russians in a vivid turmoil about cars,guns and money. Though the story about a Russian mobster and his crazy Finnish hit men trying to get an old Cadillac full of mob money back from a sleazy car dealer and his naive son-in-law surely isn't all too original (often resembling movies like Snatch or Pulp Fiction), the location and actors do indeed convey a certain charm that makes this movie all in all worth to watch, and may it be just for the sake of simple entertainment.

Another movie from Swedish hillbilly country, which is always the Northern part. If black people were shown this way, there would be shouts about racism and for good reasons.This is a farce and you are supposed to laugh at the "clever" farce clichés. But it's mostly tiresome. A gangster comedy, with the bad Russians (as always) and the bad (and stupid) Finns. And most stupid of all is of course the Norwegian, according to Stockholm prejudice.Andreas Wilson is the only one who tries to make a performance reminding us of reality. This is not funny. This is not even exciting. A burlesque too raw to make you interested in any way.
