I saw the film "Pahat pojat" on television for the first time on 14th December, 2005. It is a story about four boys who do not drink or smoke but who have committed nearly 100 robberies. These boys are known as "Daltons of Eura". I found the movie great - a little action, human relation and even religion. I felt relatively uncomfortable when watching the scene where the father of the boys (role played by Loiri) kills a police dog that was sent to catch the young men by the police after they had been caught red-handed. However, the brothers succeeded to escape and the one who was caught up by the Alsatian could actually tame it and it became the boys' pet. For some time. The father, Jouko, probably isn't very human in this film (well, he suffers from mental illness) but still I felt sorry for him in the end where he is killed when the Volvo explodes. I felt a little bit sorry too somewhere in the middle of the movie as Jouko visits the grave of his deceased spouse. My Dad happened to watch the film as well and he thought it is of quite high standard for a domestic motion picture. =)
