Nattbuss 807 (1997) User Reviews

I recommend this one.

[philocipha · 3 September 2004]

Not be cause it contains any quality in neither the manuscript or in performance by the actors. No, I recommend it cause it's so bad. It's so BAD it's good, like many movies from Sweden on this subject from this certain period. It's unrealistic, not ONE phrase in the entire movie is realistic or even pronounced realistically. And that is kind of fun when the purpose probably was just that.. to be a realistic portrait of Stockholm 1997.

I would go so far as to say it feels like you're on some bad drugs or got a case of scitzoprenia since nothing really makes sense.

A must-see!

I really wanted to give it a perfect score because this film made me laugh harder and louder than any "intended comedy" ever has, but the film-loving being inside of me is screaming for the single star. Everything about this film is poorly done, where the, and I hesitate to even use the word in the same context, acting is by far the worst part. Some comments:

Camera - Awful Screenplay - Awful "Acting" - Horrific example Sound - Poor Script - Typical of a budget action/thriller film (though I believe this movie falls into a genre of its own)

Junk-o-Rama, in other words.

It's really difficult to be constructive when criticizing this feature, since it doesn't really give a serious impression.

parody

[melachi · 1/10 · 12 January 2001]

This is a parody to me.

Most dialogues are so bad you don't take it seriously.

It's still a very interesting movie though, I'd rate it a lot higher then this if dialogues and acting was better.

A swedish classic

[Hejarnold · 7/10 · 29 June 2002]

This movie has become true swedish classic. Many people think this film is a mistake, but they cannot see the the good things in this picture. Few films contains such excellent lines as this one. The classic comments this movie contains can not be counted.

A must-see for everyone who lives in Stockholm.

story within

[eaglespecial · 7/10 · 5 January 2003]

I watched this movie a few years ago, and i remember it to be a good one. Watch it with an open mind, its more to it then the bad camera and sound mixing, the story within is good. Its about to groups of young people living in stockholm. One of local swedes, and one of immigrants. They both fear each other, but are alot alike. Might not be as appealing to someone who never experienced the urban enviorment.

Cult with flaws

[frans_heman · 8/10 · 11 July 2006]

This movie is a cult classic among many youths in Sweden, especially those in urban communities.

It is all based on fights between racist Swedish youngsters and trouble making immigrants. This is a very common situation in cities of Sweden.

The acting isn't very good, Fredrik Dolk is a joke IMHO, but still this is what's so charming about the movie. The actors delivers some very funny lines, especially Sören.

The director isn't biased either, he gives a fair and just picture of the problems in a big city.

I think you should see this movie if you're a swede living in a big city, at least you will learn some funny one-liners.

Glue a camera on a monkey and set it free...

[JanneFantastic · 6 August 2002]

Well, it´s just about as painful to watch "Nattbuss 807" as (I would think) to have your heart carved out with a spoon. The pre-dogma camera movements just look like you have glued the camera on a monkey. But that is the best part of the entire movie!

The sound is so awfull you might believe that the soundteam must have been kidding when they said that their work was finished on the movie.

The acting? Well, lets say I would rather see that monkey with that camera glued to his head...

I´m swedish (so if my spelling sucks, blame the swedish schools and not me, okey?) and is often proud of swedish cinema. But this kind of crap makes me ashamed! But if you wanna make your own movies: go see this! Because it will give you strenght enough to try yourself! Because how hard you try, you can´t do worse than this! But on the downside: There is a chance you will never ever wanna see a film again...
