There were no belly laughs engendered by this spoof film set in Reykjavík. However there was plenty of wry smiling on my part. The over-the-top plot was deliciously ludicrous as was the number of people bumped off by the two supercops. One wonders how and where the supervillain found his minions as they were dying at a rate of knots.

Just as absurd was the gay love affair - every cliché in the book was there.

And of course bombs get defused with two seconds to spare just as if it was Bruce Willis doing it.

Silly and exaggerated as it was I enjoyed the film which put me in a good mellow mood. .

I laughed all the time. It was the best and funniest icelandic movie. I would recomend this movie to all icelandic people becuse its very icelandic humor.

This film opens with two cops involved in a high-speed car chase through the mean streets of downtown Reykjavík. They are chasing a motorbike-riding, leather-clad babe who has staged a bank hold-up. One of the cops, Klemenz, should instead be on the school run and his small son is in the back of the car during the chase - not that Klemenz's partner, the gung-ho, maverick, breaks-all-the-rules 'supercop' Bússi, cares a jot. This results in Klemenz dropping Bússi as his partner and Bússi therefore being paired with fellow supercop Hörður. Hörður is on his second career: he was previously a top international model. This comes back to haunt him when a fellow former model, Rikki Ferrari, returns as a criminal mastermind. While puzzling over Rikki's plans, Hörður and Bússi become boyfriend-and-boyfriend.

So not your average cop movie, then! Spoof cop movies are always fun - lots of eardrum-bursting music, bigger-than-necessary explosions, over-the-top angst etc - and setting one in Iceland adds an extra novelty.

As often happens with comedy films, it is the supporting players who provide the icing on the comedy cake: particular stand-outs here are Steinunn Ólína Þorsteinsdóttir as the tough-as-nails police chief who is just as likely to pull a gun on her own staff as on a criminal; Steinþór Hróar Steinþórsson as a constantly-complaining henchman; and most of all, Björn Hlynur Haraldsson, gifted with a golden opportunity to chew the scenery as the whispering, pretentious Rikki Ferrari ("Why doesn't he ever speak Icelandic?" asks the bewildered Steinþórsson). But leads Auðunn Blöndal (Bússi) and Egil Einarsson (Hörður) certainly do their share of the heavy lifting, hamming it up with - um - gay abandon but also providing action heroes only a spoofly shade or two removed from the real (movie) thing.

The film drags a little towards the end, but is definitely worth watching. If you see only one Icelandic spoof cop buddy movie this year, make this the one! I saw it at the 2021 London Film Festival.
