Great performance from Rafe Spall and the cast. Yes it's a bit far fetched but there were some good laugh out loud moments alongside tunes serious stuff. 90 minutes well spent.

Sort of Welsh trainspotting. But not really. Bit weak. Deep. Without depth. Simple. Enjoyable. Some nice touches. Doesn't sustain you for very long. Delightful. Ish.

Any film that makes you yearn to know the next steps of the characters indicates the film has been successful which this has been. It could be the Welsh in me but found this endering and wanting for more. Great cast and acting too. All good. Da iawn!

Me and my wife gave this a go after reading reviews on here. So glad we did, a great little movie that has you laughing out loud in places, though as others have said it's not an actual comedy, but there are some good light hearted comedic bits throughout and the story is interesting. You also care and really want the main protagonist, Herb , to succeed in this. Recommended.

Well, ive been often thinking the same thing, that if i was a bum or hobo, lurking the streets here in fennoscandia, i wouldve done my best to get through the heavens gates of nordic imprisonment, just to get food and relaxation, some money and steady rythmm of life. looser you might think, but norwegian prisons really bake bread up under your arms to make you float through the system of punishment, and if the tv doesnt work, then youll be transfered to halden kretsfengsel, the heavenly oyster in noirwegian prison system. so the reason for the welshman to go to denmark to break the law for a vacation in danish prisons are well delved over, and for sure a fat thought of good food and bed its a film with lots of humble laughs, on behalf of a depressed person that really lives in a hassle. the main actor has this''marsian''surprised look that really tells half the story. it could have been even better elaborated how crime are dealt with up here among the trolls and vetter in the lands of the midnight sun, but if you just wanna creep in next to a depressed and repressed male welshman, then watch denmark. the grumpy old man who has forgoitten half of the glossary learnt at school gives a recommend .

Very good movie depicting life in Wales. Moments of madness but also romance. The only thing I would say is the ending was a little flat. It would of been nice to see him settle down with his new love.

There's no real arc or story to speak of and in lesser hands this would have been a molten dumpster fire but Spall manages to drag it over the line with a decent supporting cast. If you're waiting for sometime heartwarming to happen you'll be waiting a long time.

This is not the sort of movie you will watch over and over again, it's one of those movies where you will watch, perhaps enjoy, but won't think about watching it again thereafter. First of all, the profanity was a bit extreme, and the language was coarse. It was a dark comedy, and the plot was original. However the ending was a bit of a disappointment as it hung and never came to a conclusion. The story was good and the characters were believable. Nice original movie, but it did lack a decent ending.
