Norsemen (2016)
LillyHammer minus Van Zandt

Check that first - you're going to love it as much as this show.
The comedic rythm is similar, if not almost identical, it's as if they're playing the exact same characters as in LillyHammer, with a viking twist.
Regardless of that, I'm so happy to see these guys again - I love their style and what they bring to comedy.
One second there's a dick joke, then the next scene the lines explore the unhinged causality of ego, greed, petty people and their defense mechanisms to societal uniformity and morals.
A must see.
Un petit boulot (2016)
Promising dark comedy
This movie has all the premise to be great, but it falls short in the second part. It builds up nicely and then fizzles, runs out of steam. So many lost opportunities for twists and turns, this could have been a great dark comedy. Instead, we're left with strong start that never truly delivers, and stale scenes that could have been much more.
The leading pair fails to build good screen chemistry, I was never convinced of their "drama" - it's as if they never rehearsed the lines before, and somehow I don't think it's because Romain.
Romain Duris is a great actor, and he does a great job navigating the role and evolving it for us to see. I'm glad to see the European industry still has a beating heart.
Definitely a movie to watch.
However, I will give this a solid 7/10, it's well deserved.
