Easy Money (2010)
7/10
Intriguing Swedish thriller
21 December 2015
So the Swedish continue with the dark themes here. It's been a golden period for Swedish creative media following the success of TV series and books all seeming to concentrate on the dark side of life. This ain't no difference as our anti-hero is a young naive man over his head in the world of drugs and gangs. There's only one obvious solution to his problems and we are voyeurs watching this ride.

We have a mostly low budget made movie (with admittedly annoying shaky camera work) which sees a wide range of local actors impressing showing the dark side of their life across the ethnic groups in Sweden.

The story isn't anything complicated and it's mostly a ride for the viewer. Quite a cynical outlook across classes in Sweden, but you will easily relate some of this to your home countries.

I liked it. It's nothing special necessarily but very much worth a watch, and you'll definitely want to watch more with two sequels to date having been made.
