Jackpot

Those unfamiliar with Jo Nesbo's pitch-black Scandi-comedy-crime should start with the phenomenal Headhunters, but Jackpot is a good 'next stop': a brisk 80 minutes, it's part Coen Bros, part Usual Suspects, and part Rare Exports. Centering around a group of Christmas tree-factory workers who have won big money, the twisted extent of the aftermath is revealed gradually throughout the movie. Hilarious, and dark as hell.

Nothing new here but the movie is done with style and intelligence. Truly enjoyable.

Obviously very derivative but entetaining and with good performances.

"Guy Ritchie may have creatively moved on from his Tarantino-inspired debut, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, but international crime cinema has not, as again evidenced by Jackpot." - Nick Schager
