Criticism
" Undogmatic and brutal it comes to the state of Denmark, where four small-time crooks put her boss on the cross. [...] A briefcase full of money, a cathartic bloodbath and a couple shot dead cows round Anders Thomas Jensen's laconic black gangster comedy from. "
" One sometimes a little half-baked mix of drama, comedy and extremely brutal thriller that relates some stimulus from the grotesque scenario turns and Kauzigkeit of the characters. "
