Review
The makers of the embarrassing splatter spoof
Kill Buljo
return with this nazi splatter comedy. Director Tommy Wirkola still has
little relevant or original to offer, but this time he has at least
garnered enough experience and financial backing to make a professional
and technically impressive film in which dead nazis must line up in
numbers to fight off a resilient group of Norwegian medical students.
There is little productive suspense, and the script is boringly
conventional in structure and motifs, but Wirkola does come up with a
couple of brilliantly original moves which amuse and delight. And the
visuals are stylish with cinematographer Matthew Weston capturing a
beautiful colour palette. Too bad then, that on an intellectual and
artistic level, Wirkola's work still is very much insignificant.
