[A]s the film ends we are left with many questions about many people. But not to fear, Easy Money 2 is coming our way...

| Nov 26, 2019

Espinosa crafts some wonderfully tense sequences from conventional tropes. Certainly, an accomplished screenplay and notable performances enhance the proceedings.

| Jul 25, 2019

It's overlong and a little muddled in the third act but still a thrilling, energetic watch.

| Sep 6, 2017

[A] smart, affecting, slow burn of a movie, a spectacular example of Nordic noir...

| Feb 19, 2014

A heavily-armed, solid thriller directed with style by Espinosa, who takes us supermarket shopping at the eye level of a child.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 23, 2013

With pounding synthesised music on the soundtrack, Easy Money moves like a razor-edged Frisbee that could cut off a player's hand or sever his jugular if he doesn't see what's coming.

| Jul 21, 2013

Easy to watch, then, but hard to champion as a must-see.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 19, 2013

A well-spun yarn ...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 19, 2013

A fine, thought- provoking feature, with several terrific performances at its heart.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 19, 2013

Fast-moving, plausible and smart.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 18, 2013

A Scandinavian-Italian-Serbian-Chilean robbery romp in which a polyglot gang goes for a bank bust, only to learn - well, all the usual things (thieves fall out, cops crash the climactic action), but in a fizzy, multicultural way.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 18, 2013

[The problem] is Easy Money's straggly plot, a story stretched thinly between two many characters, without the dynamism or momentum to keep itself charging onwards.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 18, 2013

It has taken a few years for this Swedish crime thriller to break out internationally. In fact, two sequels have already been made.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 18, 2013

Espinosa raises the emotional ante by placing this trio of misfits in a human context.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 17, 2013

Espinosa directs with nervous energy, combining blistering action with believable, sympathetic characters; this is assured, emotionally engaging stuff.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 17, 2013

It's gripping stuff - even if the original title 'Snabba Cash' is way cooler than the English one.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 16, 2013

The truly revealing aspect of this story is the picture it paints of Stockholm, made up of many colours and creeds, where everyone is carrying baggage from home.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 15, 2013

There's plenty here to show why director Daniel Espinosa caught Hollywood's eye, even if this pre-Safe House crime drama holds few surprises.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 20, 2013

The premise is hardly original and suffers from a story that, by its third act, feels padded out; nonetheless, this is a slick, tense and brutal portrait of a man out of his depth.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 14, 2013

A padded but entertaining Scandinavian thriller made memorable thanks to its timely economic context.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 21, 2012
