Eccentric and overtly funny - Denmark's answer to" Lock Stock and Two Smoking barrels" with a different Taste
24 October 2011
"Flickering Lights" directed by Anders Thomas Jensen who is great talent worldwide. He is brilliant director (Adam's Apples, the Green Butchers) and a great story and screenplay writer (In a Better World, After the Wedding, The Duchess, Brothers).

"Flickering Lights" is an allegory of slapstick humor; every content of a great movie with fantastic characters, witty dialogs and situational comedy.

Four people, four attitudes, different levels of insanity and bang on. These Four friends having 4,000,000 kroner which they owe to the mobster chief; plan to evaporate to Barcelona; engulfed in the woods in a derelict house nevertheless.

Every scene will make you grin with its black humor and sometimes you will laugh your ass off.

Madds Mikkeleson is amazing as a Lunatic, Ulrich Thomson is brilliant, Nikolaj Lie Kaas is fantastic with munching something in almost every scene and Søren Pilmark is superb as an angry 40 year old man.

Supporting cast has given an astounding performance.

8.5/10 Recommended for the people who love the black humor.
