Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

paul2001sw-1 We might be used to the (usually American) revenge movie, and Scandinavian noir, as two different genes. But 'In the Order of Disappearance" combines the two, as a snowplough driver seeks to punish those responsible for the death of his son, and incidentally starts a gang war as he does so. The tone of the film is peculiar, in places it's solemn, in others it feels more like a comedy, and I found it hard to care about any of its protagonists, even the hero (whose behaviour is, by any rational standards, a massive over-reaction, in spite of the insult that has been done to him). It's certainly an unusual film, but that does not mean it's a great one.

Seth_Rogue_One Well-made action-thriller with Stellan Skarsgård as a decent Swedish snowplowerer in the Norwegian mountains becomes an avenger for his dead son.Reminds me more of American revenge flicks like 'TAKEN (2008)', 'JOHN WICK (2014)' and 'THE EQUALIZER (2014)' than anything typically Scandinavian... Without ever getting too cheesy or 'poserish' which tend to happen at times when the Scandis attempt at this (for instance 'EXIT (2006)', 'GANGSTER (2007)' or '9 MILLIMETER (1997)' are examples of this when done poorly).But yeah here they get it right, with a solid and incredibly intense crime boss played by Pål Sverre Hagen and overall pretty stellar acting.A bit of dark comedy in the mix as well reminiscent of 'FARGO (1996)' and 'THE BIG WHITE (2005)'.Liam Neeson is in the talks of being the lead in an American remake and that seems like it would be the go to guy with the task, however not sure if it will get any better as it's just fine the way it is.

eryui A nice black comedy, sometimes funny, that does not let you screaming to masterpiece! Beautiful scenarios, good actors and a rather simple plot. A story of revenge and a linked series of deaths due to a single mistake.A movie quietly watchable and enjoyable that, apart for some nice aspects, does not leave amazed. A sort of mix between Tarantino and the Choen brothers, but that the they would make probably a bit more engaging.Mostly watchable7/10

The Scatman Nils (Stellan Skarsgård), the unsuspecting Norway plowman comes to mingle with a local drug cartel fray under the parameters of his sons mistaken murder. This crime-comedy led a perhaps mediocre plot line, but under a pleasantly refreshing re-contextualisation on a Norwegian peninsula with a healthy few plot twists to keep the average viewer interested, it just about made the cut. At times, the films suspense was announced but never held, the characters never had depth deeper than a 2 ft barge-pole, but, if anything, it only served to fuel the frostbite satire that accompanied the likes of Greven (Pål Sverre Hagen)'s novel and quirky gangster portrayal. The film generally encompassed a repackaged 'gangster' turf war, the only difference was that the turf was permafrost and 'sleeping with the fishes' meant being wrapped in chicken wire and cast from a waterfall adorned cliff. You can figure that one out. The redeeming qualities perhaps were felt most strongly in characters such as Wingman, (Peter Andersson), Greven and Marit (Birgitte Hjort Sørensen), all of which I saw to have exceptionally well acted scenes and humour. The relationship between Marit and Greven seemed antagonistic and tense while also having that undying love-hate/comedic spin-off that gave it the originality to separate from the generic flick relationship. It reminded me distinctively of the 'Wolf of Wall St' with the tormented criminal reluctantly unearthing his criminal underbelly to the burning light of his 'normal' life.Overall, the film seemed to escape the dreaded mediocrity, however, the balance tipped out of its favour in the latter scenes where the pacing became skewed and misinformed. On top of this the plot line seemed to be scarred by that 'I've seen this type before' type of thought. This is compensated by good acting, a solid script and a refreshing setting. Overall, probably worth a watch if you want to escape Hollywood to catch your breath.
