I love productions coming from the Scandinavian countries. It's the more pure then most of the Hollywood films. They don't over polish things, i like it. Actors are great to. Kinnaman is a promise. This movie is great, a solid easy script with fine cinematography, good action scenes and well paced.

Hit and miss. The action scenes were competently made. The plot is fine, if containing a lot of tired elements. The characters had potential but they were sometimes burdened by simplified psychology, as in one-line background stories like "my father beat me". Technically, and overall, it's impressive for a Swedish film and it kept my interest throughout. Solid, then.

Great cinematography, editing, sound mixing. Shit, blew me+friends away. Very good, strong, profound characters. Plot development starts ever so well in the first half of the movie (good to see a multiplot film that doesn't wait till last scene to mix the stories), but in the end the climax gets dragged out a bit too long. Left me a bit stranded and indifferent in the end. But a cracking film, nonetheless.

A slick modern noir thriller from Sweden that lives up to it's potential and serves as a good opening to the trilogy

This was a well-made and acted movie. the story was a bit basic and generic but the pacing and direction kept things movie. The lower rating is only for the fact that I didn't like or care about any of the characters.

What opens promising a brutal crime/action drama develops into a much more interesting low-key examination of the appeal/necessity of criminal life to three 'losers' to varying degrees; Kinnaman's unbearably intense work here is the highlight, though he is ably backed by Varela and Mrsic. Familiar plot elements, and occasionally convoluted plotting, are forgiven by the distinct spin these three actors put on their characters.

Fine swedish production. Kinnaman is excellent, but his performance is not enough to bring the movie up to excellency. *Good

Solid character-driven crime thriller with a moody, stylish energy. Has some interesting things to say about the upsides and downsides of criminal life, and has good performances all round, but is let down somewhat by an overlong and confused last act.

Unpredictable and intelligent, this slickly edited Swedish crime drama doesn't neglect its characters and provides chunks of character development in between tense action scenes. We also get a star-making performance from Joel Kinnaman, effectively conveying an array of emotions.

Easy Money's big heist scene is the only action set piece so far this year that was so suspenseful I could feel my heartbeat in my ears.

Good plot, good environment and feel, and some pretty interesting characters. Basically all you can hope from a good crime movie. Also it was great to see this more "urban rough" scandinavian production in the David Lynch-inspired time of "The Killing" and "Girl With the Dragon Tatoo"

Sweden isn't very cool, but this movie makes an attempt to present it as such. The moral of the story: when you're in the game there's no getting out.

Overall solid, and very suspenseful. Dragged down slightly by some stiff dialogue and contrived plot points. Also, not a single likeable character, which in itself is not necessarily a bad thing, but they're also a bit simplistic. Comparatively minor faults, though.

Realistic looking, character driven crime drama? Yeah baby! Even though I have a weak spot for this kind of film, Snabba Cash was a very pleasant surprise. Interesting characters, a very solid script, great music and camerawork, and a nerve-wracking finale.

Solid plot and good execution. Characters are a bit weak. We get to see only tiny bit of each lead's story and none in detail.
