Synopsis:

Terrified, bloodied, and clutching a shotgun, Oscar Svendsen awakes and emerges from underneath a dead body. He finds himself in the midst of a crime scene in what used to be a respectable strip joint, surrounded by corpses and staring down the barrel of a gun pointed at him by a detective with the National Criminal Investigation Service. Naturally, Oscar is taken into custody, and during his interrogation he timidly relates a bloody story of betrayal, murder, and a soccer lottery prize that was meant to be shared with three ex-con co-workers. But is this the whole story?

Terrified and bloody, Oscar Svendsen awakes clinched to a shotgun in a strippers joint. Around him 8 dead men, and police aiming at him. To Oscar it's clear that he is innocent. It all started when four chaps won 1,7 million on the pools…

Gripping from the onset, this action comedy matches a fast-paced, tightly conceived script with a clever sense for gory gags and a decidedly Scandinavian sense of humor. Director Magnus Martens gleefully splatters blood and scatters body parts at every opportunity in this up-tempo and darkly comic tale that proves there's no honor among thieves.
