First off, i am surprised by people disapproving this movie on the grounds of the humour being at times unethical. The purpose of black humour is just to be able to laugh at matters that are usually considered outside of jokes, such as serious illness, or even murder - otherwise it would be _plain_ humour, and not _black_ humour ;)
?Spoilers (i wouldn't say so, but be warned anyway..) That said, this movie is stuffed with black humour, and amazing dialogue. Actionmovies (not the official genre of the movie, but still its action-packed) made to happen in Scandinavia aren't really realistic, so its a good thing this movie realizes this, and just as well exaggerates the whole thing - and makes it all even more hilarious. I also enjoyed the linguistic humour, concerning the communication problems between the Swedish and the Danish, something lots of Scandinavians would recognize themselves in. See, we're supposed to understand everything that we all say, but its not always that easy ;)
Now, i haven't seen "In china they eat dogs" yet, but I'm planning to, so i cannot really compare the two movies. But this movie alone, is absolutely recommendable if you enjoy black humour, and especially if your curious about how we sound up north :)
