Critics Consensus

Snabba Cash (Easy Money) cuts a cube of Nordic noir whose taut storytelling packs an extra dose of hard-hitting heft.

It's overlong and a little muddled in the third act but still a thrilling, energetic watch.

Easy to watch, then, but hard to champion as a must-see.

Espinosa crafts some wonderfully tense sequences from conventional tropes. Certainly, an accomplished screenplay and notable performances enhance the proceedings.

First in a series of three films - watch in order as the storyline develops. Poor Swedish guy, JW, gets dragged into the brutality of the hidden, criminal clashes of the different ethnic mafias in Sweden. What is strong about this film is the gradual build up of the characters, with their varying loyalties, their strong codes of honour, which forces them into acts of brutality.

Every inch a thriller with a proper all-bets-are-off finale, and a clever reworking of ancient themes of family, love and treachery.
