In China essen sie Hunde

Der Anfang hat mich ergriffen, dann wurde es schwächer, und ich habe mich ziemlich gelangweilt, doch in der zweiten Hälfte habe ich mich wiederum hervorragend amüsiert, denn ich hatte das Gefühl, dass ich eine verrückte Actionkomödie sehe, die ad absurdum geführt wurde, was das Ende unterstrich. Die beste Figur - Vuk. Da ich nicht geringe Anforderungen an dänische Filme stelle bekommt, weil die Latte wirklich hoch liegt, für die schwächere erste Hälfte In China essen sie Hunde nur drei Sternchen. (21.10.2013)

A black comedy about good intentions. Jensen thrives in absurd situations and unexpected storyline twists. An absolutely original story about two mates who do good deeds to help people, crowned with a metaphysical finale which nowadays would burst the controversy barometer. Olsen’s naturalistic action with a brutal final gunfight will please every fan of the genre. Great lines. "She tried to steal your TV." (06.03.2021)

I have a partner who is an angel. In lines, she takes care to ensure that others don't have to wait too long and constantly annoys me with plans for financial support for Africans or other people in need around the world. The protagonist of the movie, Arvid, goes even further, and while some consider him a boring partner, others find him fascinatingly stupid, spreading goodness in all directions. Unfortunately, he commits a heroic act and is duly punished by fate and his loved ones. He decides to do even greater good, but he doesn't have the necessary finances, and from there, it is quite close to a crazy plan with an even crazier motivation. For a while, it seems that Lasse Spang Olsen was trying to imitate the style and theme of Guy Ritchie's films, and he did make a darkly funny crime comedy, but later it turns out that the plot leads to nonsense, which is best summed up by a unit of too quick deployment in its second, crazier half. The plot, or rather the motivation of the characters, lacks logic, which wouldn't be such a big deal, but what is worse is that the film as a whole is uneven, and successful humorous scenes intertwine with fairly violent scenes. It simply lacks a solid genre anchoring. Nevertheless, it is entertaining, and in the final scene, where representatives of the heavenly realm and the realm of hell appear, I was tempted to give it four stars. Overall impression: 65%.
