Description
Halló! Week three of series three finds Rob and Ellie almost back on terra firma in Iceland - with just a little trip to the Netherlands to score some booze! One of the more mainstream, 'Hollywood' efforts to come out of Iceland in the 2000s, Óskar Jónasson' 'Reykjavik-Rotterdam' re-teams Baltasar Kormákur with Ingvar Sigurðsson and Arnaldur Indriðason for a sort-of heist thriller about a former criminal doing ONE LAST JOB! With a bunch of familiar faces (including Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson), plenty of tension and some very funny moments, it's no wonder this was remade in the US with Mark Wahlberg. Grab the popcorn and enjoy!   And don't forget to check out Magnús Jónsson's TAKA 5.   Please subscribe/follow, rate and review on Spotify and Apple and Follow us on Twitter @KVIKMYNDAPOD and Instagram kvikmyndapod And if you fancy supporting us, why not sling us the cost of a coffee!   Artwork designed by Sophie Watts (justahappyspace)   Music by Branches Bare ('Half-light' from the EP 'In the Origami Folds of the Night You Rip the Seam of Sleep Wide Open)
