Anders Thomas Jensen is going into a tailspin with this one. The overall concept and style is the same as in "De Grønne Slagtere". Mads Mikkelsen is even playing the same part as he did in the previous movie (not the SAME part, but the characters speak and behave the same way), he almost uses the same lines. The laughs are cheap and since it's not funny to throw pies at each other anymore, shooting each other sure still works. Jensen has watched too much Tarantino and fails in bringing the "funny killing" to his own movie. It's just out of place.
Besides, the characters are caricatures, meaning they have no depth and are only there to give us our laughs. This means that the story gets thinner and thinner until the great points that he could make in a movie with this theme (good vs. evil) are just gone with the giggling.
His movies could use some fresh talent, I'm sick of looking at the same ten actors every time I see a danish movie! It gets three stars: one for the theme, one for the nice cinematography (and thus not using hand-held video cameras) and one for not wasting my time for more than 1½ hour.
