Description:
An amusing commentary on major action-film productions, such as the Fast & Furious series, offering several layers of complexity and an intelligent way of dealing with important social issues.
Bussi is a tough 'super-cop', breaking rules and winning acclaim despite his reputation as a troublemaker. After a string of suspicious bank robberies across the Icelandic capital city, which cannot be considered as such since nothing gets stolen, Bussi is assigned a new partner. Hordur is the total opposite of Bussi as a suave, cultured, pansexual, former model. The new super-cop team soon find their actual nemesis, a criminal mastermind named Rikki, who stands behind the phantom robberies. A series of complications ensures as Hordur does nothing to hide his bisexual orientation, and Bussi is in denial about his deep-seated homosexual tendencies...
"I started with the concept of a comedy sketch, and while writing the script, I felt we had to give a soul to it, some substance and a special twist. It had to be, first and foremost, a funny movie, but I was looking forward to being able to also convey something positive through it and to shed light on important issues. I tried to treat the issue with as much respect as possible." (Hannes Thór Halldórsson)
