The best movie I've seen this far.Music well chosen. Awesome actors! Loiri is Oscar-worthy but won't get any consideration :(Overall a very good effort by everyone on a high-class script.This movie has it all, hot women, great storyline, awesome actors, fast cares, hardcore action, pace, humour(lots of it), Vesa-Matti Loiri, violence, insanity and is very perfect filmographically.Very well casted actors, especially brothers & father was a perfect fit.Never a dull moment, there is always something happening.If I have to say something bad.... Then it is the role of them being laestadian that got downplayed and only was visible in the beginning where as in real life it was a huge reason for their acting like they did.

Well for a start, I hated the irritating cutting in this film. The film just has too many cuts that try to be cool, but are not. The film has too many camera shakes too, especially in the first half.Acting is decent, but definitely not good. It gets better towards the end (like every aspect in the film) when Vesa-Matti Loiri returns home. Perhaps the director is to be blamed, because this film has good actors but they pretty much suck here. And the factitious dialogue does not help there either.The dialogue has some jokes but none of them are funny. The dialogue in the whole is pretty childish and amateur like. All the TV spots basically look like a joke. And the cops are way too stupid and the Chief Constable looks and speaks like he hasn't slept in weeks. The cops just have too much trouble counting 1+1.Though I liked Aleksi Mäkelä's film Häjyt very much, I don't like his work in this one and I don't understand how someone can give this five stars.My rating: ** / ***** : 5 / 10If you want good directing, acting and excellent cutting in a finnish film, watch Bad Luck Love

I´ve never been a big fan of Aleksi Mäkelä´s films but Pahat Pojat hit´d the rock bottom. Everything is wrong in this movie. The acting, the writing and specially directing. In fact there isn´t any directing. Acting is as lame as in the Finnish soap opera "Salatut Elämät". Scenes are lame too with no dynamics in acting and that has been tried to cover with a fast pace editing. But nothing can fix the bad taste of Aleksi Mäkelä in directing. But i gotta give it to the marketing of the film. Now I believe that you can make s*** look like gold if you convince the audience enough.

When you take off the nice explosions and the "this is based on a true story but we just don't admit it"-attitude this doesn't give much.There are all the basic elements of a film here, but the story telling as a whole just doesn't work. I guess they haven't heard about timing when doing this film, it's just action from the beginning to the end. No climax, no peaceful scenes. Just when you think you can really concentrate on the characters they throw some action on the screen again. It suffocates the relations between people and gives very one-sided view of the characters.The action is mostly like "hey we could do this and this" and I found most of it unnecessary. There are also good things in this film though. It was partially filmed in my home town and it's always nice to see some places you know well. Also the director Aleksi Mäkelä's father showed in two or three scenes. The boys had trained their muscles very well and looked good. If I had been turned on by those sixpacks I would probably have gotten much more out of this film. Vesa-Matti Loiri was ok.Aleksi Mäkelä has made some attempts to make a big budget action film in Finland and this film is a good practice ground, but it doesn't convince me yet. Hope he will some day make something really thrilling and new, not just average material mostly copied from Hollywood action films. It was also a bit fun to see Finnish businessmen, known of very different relations, producing the film. This is not only a film, it is also an investment. If I had to describe this with one sentence I would probably say: Finnish big budget action films have come and succeeded. Go watch it if you like but don't expect too much.
