Reykjavik-Rotterdam (2008)

Kvikmyndapod: An Icelandic Cinema Podcast

Halló!

Week three of series three finds Rob and Ellie almost back on terra firma in Iceland - with just a little trip to the Netherlands to score some booze!

One of the more mainstream, 'Hollywood' efforts to come out of Iceland in the 2000s, Óskar Jónasson' 'Reykjavik-Rotterdam' re-teams Baltasar Kormákur with Ingvar Sigurðsson and Arnaldur Indriðason for a sort-of heist thriller about a former criminal doing ONE LAST JOB!

With a bunch of familiar faces (including Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson), plenty of tension and some very funny moments, it's no wonder this was remade in the US with Mark Wahlberg.

Grab the popcorn and enjoy!
