Sets out to be shamelessly ridiculous... but falls short

From the beginning I knew it was set out to be the parody of Hollywood style cop buddy films with all the cliches. A risky task, and it wasn't really as cringe as I feared it might be... but ultimately failed to entertain me either.Set-out was OK - the characters were fun enough, production value was OK. Action scenes and special effect could have been bit more polished, but this is not a big budget Hollywood production, so my complaint isn't there.Problem is it's not tight and effective enough. There are too many repeated unnecessary scenes - Rikki, the baddie, creepily killing and threatening his own men, for example. Thanks to Haraldsson's great portrayal, his creepiness was well established early on. Repeating the similar situation several times only made the impact less and eventually boring. Similarly, there are quite a few scenes and characters that could have been kept simpler and tighter.All the while, the main point and the twist of the whole film, two cop partners having a romantic relationship is left underdeveloped and underexplored. After the initial clash and alcohol fueled sex, the focus is more on Bussi's inner struggle to come out rather than his relationship to his partner. What is a buddy movie without the bond between the two buddies?Personally, the real virtue of the film was its hilarious commentary on boring, rule-abiding nature of Icelandic society. After all, this was my first Icelandic film, and I hope it's not to be the last.... Just do a bit better than this for the next, I hope.

Not my cup of tea, but may be for you

If you're into Bollywood-esque, over-the-top parodies then this movies is for you!! I don't know if this missed the mark for me because of cultural differences (I'm American), but this just didn't do it for me. I was so excited to see it that I paid 10 whole dollars for it, which was definitely a mistake (and I am desperately attemting to get it refunded). I understand its a parody, and I love the unique twist they took on the macho cop trope! Its also got a couple pretty funny lines that made me cackle out loud, and expect to see nearly every Hollywood stereotype (enemies to lovers, epic one-liners, unrealistic events, the likes). However, it made me cringe so hard that I actually had to stop watching the movie a little past the halfway mark. I couldn't even finish it. I'm a queer man so I'm always happy to see some representation, but this style of movie just wasn't for me. It may work for someone else though!!

Fun buddy cop romcom

Aren't all buddy cop movies romcoms when you really get down to it? Instead of all that macho posturing and showing off guns, didn't you ever wonder if they really just wanted to, well, show off their guns in private? I've never seen a coming out in the middle of a brutal gunfight, but hey - that's the kind of ballistic buffoonery that Cop Secret has in store.And if the end feels very Nolan Batman, well, director of photography Elli Cassata was a cameraman on Batman Begins.
