"Anker" (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) has just returned to his sister's home after spending a fourteen year spell in custody for an armed robbery that netted DKR41 millions (that's about £4.5 millions) that has hiterto been unrecovered. Now we know that he gave the loot to his brother "Manfred" (Mads Mikkelsen) to bury out at their late mother's rural home, and so he hopes that's all been done and that they can go out and retrieve it. The snag is that his brother suffers from an associative disorder; has now taken to calling himself "John" and despite both carrot and stick approaches from his sibling, isn't proving very co-operatvive on the treasure hunt front. To make matters worse for "Anker", he gets a visit from the menacing "Friendly Flemming" (Nicolas Bro) who wants the cash for himself - and he's not a gentle giant to be messed with. For their own safety, "Anker" now reckons they might have more chance if they head out into the countryside so rent a lodge at what was their family home from the somewhat dysfunctionally wed "Margarethe" (Sofie Gråbøl) and her husband "Werner" (Søren Malling) and he hopes he can persuade his brother to locate the bag. "John" thinks he is really John Lennon - even if he can't sing a note, nor can he play the guitar, so the enigmatic "Lothar/Keld" (Lars Brygmann) - whom they met at the institution where his suicidally-inclined brother was being kept, suggests they might have better luck if they re-assemble the Beatles - only using other characters with the same mental issues as "John", and who fancy themselves as Ringo, Paul and George! Believe it or not, thanks to a brief trip to Sweden for one man who thinks he is George and Paul (and Bjorn from ABBA, too) they manage to assemble a sort of Beatles v.2 - but with the nasty "Flemming" still wanting his cash - is there any chance he will find his money in time, or is he doomed to spend what little time he looks like having left playing his own version of "Holes" amidst the fir trees? This is a darkly entertaining comedy with virtually nothing off limits as it races along through a series of scenarios that can be extremely violent and/or border on the slapstick. Mikkelsen has virtually no dialogue, but masters the role of his imbalanced character really quite subtly, especially as the backstory drips through and we get some fairly obvious clues as their traumatic childhood and the likely causes of his illness and dependency. This is not just a comedy, though, and through some fairly perceptive eyes it allows us to take a look at family relationships, at love and loyalty, of alcoholism and of greed - but all against a backdrop that diffuses the intensity of those elements with silly antics with a staple gun and "John" reckoning he is still a Viking of old communicating using ancient runes. It pretty much hits the ground running and if you like your humour encased in nails, then you ought to enjoy this.
