#55 Terribly Happy

Danish crime movie. It kept on popping up in reccommended for me, and then the Science...sort of guys had reviewed the trailer and said that it looked Coen-Bros esque, so I thought I'd give it a try.

It's not really Coen-bros esque, but it does have some interesting plot twists throughout, and it's tense as hell. Plus, who doesn't love a story that starts off with the good ol' "Once upon a time, an outside lawman came to a small town that seemed quiet. Too quiet."

Because there's always some dirty secrets under there, and a couple of bad decisions and naive falls to temptation later, and the outside lawman winds up pretty dirty himself. And that's all she wrote. Even if it's in Danish.

Plus, talking cats and inappropriate drinking contests when you least expect them. It's a pleasant use of an afternoon
