I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I've seen some pretty mixed reviews on this one, some of them good, but some of them unjustly negative.
Here's why. I think most negative comments on this films are based in the fact that the classic lineup of our favorite criminal gang consists of Björn Gustafsson as Dynamite Harry, Gösta Ekman as Charles Ingvar and Ulf Brunberg as Ragnar 'Vanheden' from the 80s and 90s. That's the way we want to remember them. As the times are, we live in a time of sequels, prequels and reboots. That's just the currents on the Movie market. Deal with it. This movie was made, it was filmed and released. That's the way it is. The movie exists. Accept it. The fact that they once decided to make a reboot on "Jönssons gang" franchise made most of the fans skeptical, including me. How could they ever capture that old feeling of those ingenious heist stories and slapstic relief? By making something totally new, of course!First thing first, Everything we remember from the original franchise has made its transition into the 2100 Century. Modern technology, modern cars, more contemporary gadgets, Vanheden is more of a "brat" than a "player". Times change, so does the circumstances around which the movie's story takes place.
Second, the characters back stories feel more trustworthy, or at least deeper. In the early movies, Harry just happened to be a guy who enjoyed blow things up an have an occassional beer afterward. Here he is an ex miner who drinks because he's depressed. In the early movies, Charles Ingvar is just a grumpy old goof. Here he can be bitter, sometimes flat out grim, mostly due to the murder of his uncle and the loss of his ex.
Third, and this is the overall and most important element of how to turn the old classics into a new type of success; this movie is to be considered more as a thriller or a crime story than a flat out Comedy. Of course, there are some pretty funny scenes, but the overall tone is way darked than we remember from the classic franchise. Don't be fooled now, this is not a Bergman movie or "Silence of the Lambs" type of story. Only, darker compared to the old slapstick franchise. There are plenty of scenes that makes you think of classic action Movies such as "Oceans 11", the James Bond Movies, "Gone in sixty seconds" and others. Don't know what more to say. I liked it. It had some funny moments, a lot of thrill. It really made its way into the 2100 Century. Looking forward to a sequel, Believe it or not!

This was so bad that I had to write my first review. It really brought out the grouchy film critic in me. It's as if the creators haven't made up their minds as to what kind of film this supposed to be. In some parts it is a serious, thriller style heist film. In other parts it is the same silly slap stick comedy as the original Jönssonligan films. The combination doesn't work for me. Many of the dialogs sound dry and 'written', at times even dorky. Not sure if this is because of a badly written script or bad acting - maybe both. In places the footage looks plain amateurish. Lots and lots of tight shots make it hard to get a physical sense of location and direction. The supposed emotional connection between two of the main characters also feels completely unbelievable - they have about as much chemistry as two rocks. The music lacks timing, with overuse of dramatic bass effects even when there isn't any real suspense, sometimes drowning out the dialogue. There are also plenty of plot holes. Things that fall into place just a little too conveniently. All in all, this was a huge disappointment, and a far cry from the quality of the original film series.

The first so-called original films that contain lots of laughter and joy and madness with good actor that really made people laugh with his comedy. In short classic which today are funny. Now is the time out and you have to try to milk money out of an old movie series but with a new concept, new actors and a different approach is the only maintaining it is well established name which is really the only thing that is common with the original films .. Good luck ? Nah, it just feels silly to let the film is hot right Jönssonligan. When to do a completely new approach so the film could just as easily have a different name, but probably had not received any attention at all. For the movie is nothing special at all. Just a tough history that feels totally useless. A major coup to be carried out but it has completely taken away the reason why? No enemies without a ridiculous made-up story that does not contribute anything new. The dialogs are tough film is boring actors are amateur and for me it is absolutely unbelievable that this film got made and pull Jönssonligan in the dirt. absolutely miserable. Let the old in peace and stop destroying what was good for it's my last word on this film. see it do not you just get disappointed and enjoy instead of the old films that can still give you a good laugh

I had big expectations for this movie, it is not easy to take an old franchise like this and make something good. But they really did, not just something good, they did something amazing! This might as well be the best Jönssonligan movie I have ever seen. Looking forward for more movies in this series!The cast is great and the plot is Amazing. There is just the right amount of comedy combined with action and excitement and the makes have made a really good work. I love the fact that you can recognize the classical characters in the new ones, in a really good way. They are different but on the same way they are themselves.
