18-year-old Caspar wants to reach the top, no matter what. He carries out small-time break-ins for Jamal, before moving on to work for big player Björn.

This is a big test for Caspar: is he ruthless enough for this battle? And will he drag his younger brother into it? (imdb)

Noer's raw and believable depiction of the tough life in the underbelly of Nordvest is intoxicatingly exciting, nailbitingly tense, and rather sad. With this, a companion piece to his and Lindholm's equally excellent 'R', he emerges as the most interesting voice in the Danish film industry since Dreyer (arguably with the possible exception of Malmros). I can't wait to see what he does next!

I was not convinced of the value of this cinema verite approach that Danish cinema seems to be going through before seeing this.

It is very minimalistic in it's approach, which for me, isn't usually a good thing, but all things considered it just works so amazingly well here. The overall cast is great with Roland Møller & Gustav Giese spearheading it with great performances and Michael Noer provides a flawless directing job. The whole ending kinda took me aback and really left me wanting more. I rarely say this about movies: but it could have been longer. Really one of the best danish movies in a long time.

Think 'Goodfellas' and 'Scarface' on a smaller scale and in less flashy, Danish surroundings. Michael Noer knows how to balance striking realism and intense drama like few European directors.

A very realistic portrayal of the descent of a youth in a Danish crime scene. Well done.

This is a perfectly excellent film, I'm just a terrible person with mean fingers.
