Review: It is every citizen’s paradise but a restless policeman’s hell. The sleepy Swedish town of Hogbordorna is so crime-free that the local authorities only worry about what to have for breakfast. Jacob, Benny, Lasse and Agneta are the hilarious group of uniformed cops who find themselves threatened with a station closure due to the lack of criminal activity. Rather than accepting the inevitable, they decide to fake a crime spree and then solve the cases. What begins as a series of minor incidents soon turns into a full-blown fiasco, as Jacob and his partners ignite a forest fire, shoot random bullets into the woods, and encourage the local drunkard to shoplift. This latest film by the director of Jalla Jalla! delivers the most laughs through its Matrix-like special effects while blatantly satirizing Hollywood action sequences.
