Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Bene Cumb Although it is not educational, life and deeds of loafers is found catchy to follow by lots of viewers - apparently "decent" themselves. And the case is better if nasty crimes are not visible and their motive is not personal greed. Gamle mænd i nye biler depicts a story where suspicious measures are taken for the sake of help and remedy. The amount required is huge, time is ticking, and there are dozens of hindrances on the way... As the participants' IQ and moral values are not high as well (mildly speaking), then crazy and funny situations are easy to rise, leading to a logical, but somehow expected ending. Meanwhile, it is pleasant to track the run of events, comprehensions of characters, various action situations; by the way, two chases shown are not worse / less tense than in Hollywood movies. Well, some scenes are knowingly amplified, but they do not become ridiculous.The cast is evenly strong, particularly Kim Bodnia as Harald, Nikolaj Lie Kaas as Martin (his presence could have been more often), Torkel Petersson as Ludvig, Iben Hjejle as Mille. Actors like them could be savers of much weaker script.A good entertaining experience, if you like Scandinavian crime thrillers with humorous touch.

anne-dane After reading the previous sour comment I feel provoked to make a comment on "Old Men in New Cars", which is absolutely one of my favourite actions movies.The genre is a satiric high-speed kind of action movie, and dark comedy. The two innocent cooks known from "In China They Eat Dogs" is once again forced into criminal actions by their boss, and this time their job is to free their boss' dying stepfather's biological Swedish son, a serial murder of women, from a high security prison in Sweden, and bring him to Denmark to see the dying man.They succeed to bring the guy (who occasionally murder a few women on the way though Sweden) and of course that means lots of trouble and new opportunity for all of them. I like this movie... I like the car chases in small unimpressive cars, the inexplicit humour and play with referrals to other movies.

voIcomstone Well... it's not everyones style, but I liked it very much. No pseudo deep sense. Some funny scenes combined with action and a very little lovestory. Well, last I haven't needed, but it hasn't disturbed me. If you watch this movie you have to agree with your conscience that this is really only a movie. It's made to entertain people.The story consists of Harald who just was released from prison and the first action he does is to commit a crime. Together with his two Henchmen Martin and Peter he has to get quite a lot of money. Harald is in dept and the Mafia wants its money fast. His compensation father needs a new liver and so the story is framed. Many little pieces are put together to a, in my opinion, good movie.Who's not "antiviolent" should have seen it.

basemnt-dwellr Yesterday I had the chance to see "Old Men In New Cars" at the Filmfest Hamburg. What a great movie. I hope this film will come into cinemas soon. This is supposed to be a prequel to "In China They Eat Dogs" but it stands very well on its own. The characters we already know from "In China They Eat Dogs" are the same as is the weird, black humor. It lacks the two supernatural beings from the first film, but you don't really miss them. On the other hand, there is more action and more violence in it than in "In China They Eat Dogs". And it is really funny. When I think about some of the scenes, I still have to laugh.---Possible spoilers ahead---The film is about Harald, who, just released from jail, wants to fulfill the last wish of his dying foster father: He wants to see his son. Of course nobody knew he actually had a son. The son, Ludvig, sits in a Swedish jail. So our heroes Harald and his two cooks, and Vuk of course, get him out of jail only to learn, that he is a serial killer that starts his "obsession" as soon as he gets the chance. And then, of course, there are our Croatian friends, this time all dressed in black T-shirts with a double-headed eagle on the front and huge (and I mean HUGE) golden necklaces, whom Harald owes money. Harald also needs money to get his foster father a liver transplant in Southern America to save his life. After a bank robbery which fails, the Croatians suggest he rob an airplane while it is about to take two containers with money on board. Now just imagine a deadly sick old man, who is drugged with opium and the last time he flew a plane was about 40 years ago, on the control stick, and the police trying to stop the plane... anybody who is afraid to fly should close his eyes during that scene or you'll never get in a plane again. Absolutely hilarious. And the tricks they used in that sequence are really good. As are the car stunts.There are several dead bodies, lots of car crashes, the Swedish get their share, the plans our heroes try to carry out are totally impracticable, but they do it anyway and somehow they succeed with them (well, almost), and in the end, everybody is happy. Well, most of them.I hope this film gets released Europe wide soon, because I have to watch it again. Great entertainment, though not for the whole family.
