Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

propoint The main problem with this film is more fundamental. Laura is essentially a very tragic character, not a comical one.The story is a tragedy, but it seems that the director himself has missed that point. Ludomania, which is the film's underlying theme, is not funny, but pathetic and tragic.Instead, the director attempts to dress up the story and present it as a hybrid of a comedy and a "love story" between an alcoholic and a compulsive gambler. It just doesn't work.The ending is also a complete letdown: Laura informs Claus that she has decided to sort out herself and work on her (very serious) problems. She states that their relationship cannot continue.This could have been a decent ending, leaving on a hopeful note, but it is completely ruined during the end credits where a number of idiotic sketches show that Laura and Claus have moved together anyway -- with Laura constantly betting with Claus over ridiculous things.Give it a miss. 2 out of 5 stars (** of *****).

McBuff Poor Guy Ritchie wannabe tells the thin story of gambling addict Laura (Hjejle, in an annoying one-note performance) hooking up with hard-nosed debt collector Claus (Bodnia, a bit more softhearted than usual, but on autopilot most of the time - he should definitely resume working with better directors). Spang Olsen's direction is less incompetent than usual, but with the emphasis less on action this time, the film also suffers from many dull stretches. Nikolaj Peyk's supposedly "authentic" dialog is simply not funny. A bunch of good actors are wasted in bit parts (Erik Clausen in particular) and a highly inappropriate soundtrack, as another user mentioned, make for an unimpressive movie.

sarastro7 "Inkasso" is in many ways a logical extension of "I Kina Spiser De Hunde" and "Gamle Mænd I Nye Biler", both of which were quite fun and entertaining. "Inkasso" falls short, however, because the story is straighter (i.e. less absurd and therefore less funny), trying but failing to feel more real. The acting is not top-notch, although some performances are good, and the dialog in particular is unconvincing - a great problem in contemporary Danish cinema, TV and music generally. The Danish language has deteriorated, partly because of the vast influence of English-language culture which means that people don't really bother with proper Danish anymore, and this is being felt everywhere in Danish media of every kind. I don't really care that much about the preservation of the Danish language (I find English superior), but using it really poorly is still grating. They should do the movies in English instead, which would also open up a much larger market for them.Anyway, Kim Bodnia is as good as can be expected in this movie, whereas I wasn't that impressed with Iben Hjejle, who's been better in just about everything else I've seen her in. Ole Ernst was very convincing in his role, and Allan Olsen was fairly good, too. But overall the movie was slightly boring and never really got off the ground.5 out of 10.

ajon1 The theme for this movie is quite similar to much from the same genre of danish films. But this one is probably the worst one of the lot! Movies like 'Gamle mænd i nye biler' (Old Men in New Cars), 'I Kina spiser de hunde' (In China They Eat Dogs) and 'Blinkende lygter' (Flickering Lights) are light years ahead in every aspect. This movie is a sad production which could have been made much better. One can't help wondering about that soundtrack from the HORRIBLE Swedish singer Lisa Nilsson - was her record label the only (or should we call it rightfully lonely) sponsor of this flick?!? No wonder people turn to piracy and download instead of purchase DVDs. Movies like these makes you never want to spend another cent on the corrupt Scandinavian movie industry! Get real!!An ultra-generous 3/10 because of Bodnias acting.
