In the morning of April 5, 2004, the greatest bank robbery in Norwegian history was carried out in Stavanger. The robbery itself is the main character of the story, and it is illuminated from several angles in the course of the film, from the perspective of the police, the robbers, the central cash service personnel, and ordinary people

Stupid robbers, Stupider police or vice versa Stupid police, Stupider robbers.Bullsiht movie. take my advice and don't watch it. You''ll thank me later.There is nothing in this movie that is done good. the police keep on saying it's like hell in here during the shooting outside the bank but i don't think they even know the meaning of hell.Compare it to the shooting scene in Heat (1995) and all you can do is laugh at this movie.Totally ruined my hopes, if there were any, in Norwegian cinema.

I just can't believe how awfully this movie was made. The whole movie was like a joke. The screenplay was such a bad one with horrible scenario and plot, then the directing and the acting of this Nowegin movie were also so bad. If this movie was made just because the producers wanted to expose the poor organized Nowegin police system, the poor training and the poor, amateurish response to deal with an emergency, their police force was just too disgusting to be described with proper words; then it served pretty well and right on the money. If this movie was for the purpose to expose and to make laugh on those stupid morons who decided to rob the bank with such a poor plan, then again, you should consider this movie did a great job. If this movie was made for the above-mentioned two purposes, then it also served well by showing the Nowegin common citizens were so naive and so numb to almost anything happened around them. But for the movie itself, it was just a piece of worthless recount of a so-called 'based-on-a-true-story' incident. There was no realistic feeling of this whole movie, the police, the band robbers, they both failed so miserably, because they failed to deliver a suspenseful thrill in the least. Nowegin movies usually are exceptionally well scripted, directed and acted, but not this one. This is a very hollow, empty and void movie that had failed completely.

I just finished seeing this one I found it very worthy to have a look at it.The story is told in a different way Hollywood uses to do and a different view of a action movie is kind of rare. OK, the camera is kind of shaky almost all the time but I've said it before: when there is a reason for it for me it's OK. Here the tension is printed by this moving camera and also by the fast editing - without this two elements is kind of difficult to make the film moving or interesting.The camera closure to the actors shows an intimacy to the characters, we see their expressions constantly and without this it would be difficult because there is no so many dialogues or "shot/reverse-shot" kind of scenes, the action took all the time needed.The point of views are interesting but sometimes confusing even with the subtitles indicating the time, not a big problem to me.Nokas has a nice and interesting kind of storytelling that is unusually welcome - at least for me.

I read that the actors were unexperienced, but they were fine, the camera and video takes were fine too. The only problem were the missing events. The whole movie could be edited in a six minutes version. Why the events toke place between 3:00 and 08:30? Is important know that a thief toke a shower? The first 30 minutes of the movie, between 03:00 and 07:00 contains: 1 - A thief taking a shower; 2 - Putting 11 mattresses into a truck to burn and hide DNA; 3 - The police are suspecting of a possible robbery; 4 - The robbers set fire in the truck in front of the police station, blocking the garage; 5 - A thief throwing some "nails" on the road. The filmmakers responsible for this movie should include more about the facts, the investigation, arrests, prosecution, police work and not get stuck in the square, while shows an unprepared police doing nothing. What a waste of time.I do not believe that the Norwegian police is full of incompetent cops, but I am sure that those responsible for this movie cannot do a great job.
