Second in a trilogy about Copenhagen drug dealers. Sardonic comedy in the "Goodfellas" vein.

In Refn's skilled street-realist hands, the child becomes a potent, wailing metaphor for Tonny's own dilemma of rudderless need.

Works best when it's dwelling on the disconnect between Mikkelsen's lurid imagination and his disappointing reality.

Part of a trilogy about Copenhagen criminals, this one features a terrific performance by a Vin-Diesel lookalike who runs rings around the American actor in ability.
