It's gripping stuff - even if the original title 'Snabba Cash' is way cooler than the English one.

Trevor Johnston, Time Out
Rotten

The story is overcooked and the gritty aesthetic (handheld cameras, desaturated color) borders on cliche.

Drew Hunt, Chicago Reader
Fresh

One of the most involving of the many first-rate thrillers that have come recently from Scandinavia.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh

Chalk another one up for Swedish crime-thriller novels.

Linda Barnard, Toronto Star

What really distinguishes it from any number of drug-escapade stories is the unusual and welcome sense of Dostoyevskian moral gravity of the narrative.
