Trivia
In a famous TV interview with Nicolas Winding Refn and Kim Bodnia, a reporter asked about research to make the film so realistic, the one thing the Winding Refn and Bodnia had asked them not to ask about. The interview thus became very awkward. The interview appears on some DVDs.

Goofs
When Frank and Tony are in Frank's car, they pass a crossing just before Frank's phone rings. 20 seconds later, when Frank finishes his phone call, they turn right, at the same crossing they just passed.

Quotes
Tonny: I once ejaculated a girl in the face, and she wanted me to piss it off.
Frank: Wait a minute, wait a minute. You ejaculated a girl in the face, and she wanted you to piss it off?
Tonny: Yeah.
Frank: [laughing] Pervert! That's fucking sick!
Tonny: It is not?
Frank: It's fucking sick, man. Who was she?
Tonny: Your mother.

Something's rotten in the State of Denmark

Grim, tough debut feature from Nicolas Winding Refn (based on his 5 minute short film) tells the story of Frank, a hardnosed drug pusher in Copenhagen, who gets more than he bargained for when a deal goes wrong. His Serbian supplier Milo (Buric, in a standout performance) and henchman Radovan give him one last chance to come up with the money, but as it is nothing goes like planned. Kinetic, realistic and supercharged with sudden bursts of (mostly offscreen) violence and a pounding soundtrack as well as all around knockout performances with Kim Bodnia excellent as Frank. One of the best Danish movies of 1996. ***½ (of ****)
