So abgefahren wie der Titel es vermuten lässt. Für 1999 überraschend frisch. Die Dänen können echt was.

May have the strangest end to this kind of movie I mean what the fuck did I just watch?!

Very strange decisions from the director made this film a special watch.

Spoiler no dogs were harmed 

Hat mich leider so gar nicht abgeholt. Immerhin versucht die Dänische Produktion ein paar neue Wege zu gehen.

Story rund um einen Langweiler der einen Bank Überfall verhindert und sein Leben dann Wilde Züge annimmt ist gar nicht so schlecht. Viele gute Ansätze einige interessante Charaktere aber nix was mich so wirklich begeistert hat.

Auch so kuriose Szenen wie die in der Küche oder der Rockband fand ich jetzt nicht so legendär wie manch einer behauptet

Obendrauf kommt dann noch ein Humor der bei mir überhaupt nicht zündet. Beim Ende will ich gar nicht anfangen, dass passt mal überhaupt nicht.

Überraschenderweise gibt es eine Verfolgungsjagd die ganz ordentlich ist.

Aber im großen und ganzen hat mich das alles an einen mittelmäßigen Guy Ritchie Klon erinnert.

Schade ich hätte den gerne mehr gemocht.

Ein paar überforderte, beinahe inkompetente Kleinkriminelle, lakonischer bis teils kruder Humor, enorm rohe Bilder. Guy Ritchie versucht schon sein Leben lang was Lasse Spang Olsen bereits vor 20 Jahren gelungen ist - die europäische Variante eines Tarantino Films. Ich hasse direkte Vergleiche, aber da mir leider nichts besseres Einfällt, muss ich diesen bringen: IN CHINA ESSEN SIE HUNDE ist der europäische RESERVOIR DOGS, nur anders.

It's pretty impossible to summarize Olsen's cult classic in one sentence; it is weird, so, so dark but oh, so hilarious. Almost all the time it feels that it's inappropriate to laugh - it's like "I shot Marvin in the face" all over again during one film. But on the other hand in a world where we live in, making this kind of film isn't far from reality on one level either... When things get fucked, they truly get fucked and they keep turning more confusing until they reach "the point" when confusing is normal. In this case that would be over-the-top, what the fuck ending of the film which we still accept. Terrific film!

Hvad med Vuk?

Watching this bizarre masterpiece in danish made it even cooler. This movie knows how to work with danish humor (the best humor) and completely insane but nonetheless loveable characters, every once in a while crossing all borders and showing the audience how to screw good taste with style!

„Wir sind doch nur die Köche.“

Eine kleine, feine Low Budget Gangsterkomödie aus Dänemark.

Auch wenn nicht immer alles Sinn ergibt und der Film schon teilweise sehr aufgesetzt versucht auf der "Kult-Cool-Welle" zu reiten ist das ganze Ding am Ende doch sehr charmant verpackt.

Ein Sack voller witziger Ideen, ein paar mittelmäßige Schauspieler die allerdings mit vollem Herzen dabei sind und auch der ein oder andere gewitzte Twist hat funktioniert.
Die Charaktere an sich gingen mir leider ziemlich am Arsch vorbei und auch die Musik fand ich etwas sehr merkwürdig gewählt, dafür vergingen die 90 Minuten mit unserem Haufen Dumpfbacken wie im Flug.

Ach ja und das Ende ist genial, mit sowas rechnet man ja so überhaupt nicht xD

Unterm Strich würde ich Ihn mit "Bang Boom Bang" vergleichen, wobei mir der allerdings noch ein Stück besser gefällt (bin halt Deutsch ne).

Cooler Streifen.

A highly unpredictable Danish take on the story of a boring man just snapping one day and getting himself and his estranged brother into ever escalating trouble with bodies starting to pile up left and right.

This is so over-the-top in its action scenes and overall plot development, right down to the otherworldly ending, that you just have to applaud it a little bit for pulling it all off in such a matter-of-fact fashion.

Kim Bodnia is a memorable presence in this and so is Dejan Čukić, the two of them making for very different brothers that nevertheless find common ground in committing crimes together. 

Der Film hat zwar keine beeindruckende Inszenierung, macht aber inhaltlich - aufgrund seiner vielen tollen Ideen, den amüsanten Figuren und dem schwarzen Humor - jede Menge Spaß.
Wahnsinn, was man ihn ca. 90 Minuten alles reinpacken kann.
Ein echter Tipp für Fans von "Bube,Dame,König, Gras" und "Snatch - Schweine & Diamanten".

A bank clerk is fed up with his life and turns to his criminal brother (Kim Bodnia) to help him out...
A fun Danish gangster comedy which really doesn't give a shit about political correctness and stays loyal to its characters no matter how nasty things are going.
The episodic structure provides some hilarious scenes with criminal actions going wrong and while the players could have come across as a bit assholish the actors do such a great job that one likes to follow them anyway. What makes this better than most of the directional efforts of Anders Thomas Jensen (who only wrote this) is that it doesn't takes its drama angle too seriously. In fact it totally goes off the rails in the finale with a quasi afterlife scenario which joyfully mocks the moralistic crime genre.

Make or Break Scene: The finale.

MVT: The cast.

Score: 7/ 10

Not very good, and the plot is weird and the main character sucks. It seems like they just made the movie to show of the practical effects they just learned haha
And the end is just so strange

It was funny most of the time. Harald is an incredible loveable asshole. A little over the top but that was the point, I get it. A whacky, danish Pulp Fiction. Also didn't like the homophobia, but it was the nineties... doesn't really excuse it though.

What the fuck.

Wtf?

this was... A Ride from start to finish, but it’s honestly much better than i expected it to be tbh

almost a 5/5 for the last scene alone. peak cinema.

I think the most accurate description of this is "Danish Comedy styled humor" and if you don't know what that is all you need to watch is this and you pretty much get it.

The characters, the language, the violence, the stupidity, the food, just about everything here is just as Danish as it gets.

What a weird movie... but I love it.

In terms of black comedies the danes are on another level.

8 / 10

Dansk klassiker inom en genre där danskarna fortsätter att leverera gång, på gång, på gång. 

”Vi är ju bara kockar, för helvete.”

A cinematic masterpiece.

O título passa a impressão errada, já que não tem nada a ver com a China nem com cachorros. Este filme dinamarquês é uma comédia de humor negro misturada com filme de ação: há uma boa dose de tiros, perseguições e sangue, entremeados por diálogos mórbidos e sarcásticos. A premissa é altamente improvável – um bancário bonzinho entra na vida do crime para ajudar a família de um bandido que ele ajudou a prender. Se é difícil acreditar nas motivações do protagonista Dejan Cukic, Kim Bodnia convence bastante como seu irmão "do mal" que tem todo o know-how necessário para a empreitada fora-da-lei. As cenas de ação funcionam bem, provavelmente devido à experiência do diretor na área – o IMDB lista 60 participações suas como dublê. Mas o destaque é mesmo o humor negro, tanto nos diálogos ("Ela está na sala... e também na cozinha") quanto na sequência de situações que dão errado.
