falls in the gap between good and so bad it's good

First some good things. Johan Glans was great as always, and some other actors did a stellar job. I did actually laugh sometimes, especially the combination of TT (Jonas Karlsson) and Steffe (Ola Forssmed) was great. The film work on some of the Car scenes was great.Now some bad stuff. While filmed well, there actually only a few interesting overtaking maneuvers, most were dull and pretty much all the same. The first few times were ok, but when the twentieth time flicked by on the screen I really wasn't interested anymore. I think filmmakers need to remember that it is ok to make a 80 minute movie.The plot. Some plot points were just completely ignored. Charlie making out with "the Porsche girl" (has no name) was a good idea, but then eliminating her in the race 5 minutes later? Why? That just killed the whole Charlie story line and it felt like they just forgot about it. They had too many characters and it felt like they didn't know how they should use them to fill the gap created by a weak main story line. The Tesla was funny at first, it was clear from the beginning that they would play into the "runs out of power" idea, which is fine, but then the driver got eliminated because he didn't notice the police coming, unnecessary. Charlie getting eliminated for no good reason, just why? Why not make it more interesting then that by letting him finish and give him a last scene with Hanna where he realizes that he is stupid? And the police? Why just have her car explode? There was so much more potential there.The drone work. Some shots were nice, but by the end it felt like they thought that they had already booked a drone operator, so they might as well use them, even though there was no good reason to do so.The map. Nice to show where everyone is, but it was pretty much always the same.I can and do enjoy movies with weak plot lines, especially if they are visually pleasing, include good action or are funny, but this funny was rarely funny, which is not enough.

Like the movie Göta kanal but on wheels

David Hellenius is behind the script and plays the main role himself together with all kinds of established actors. Unfortunately, it won't be particularly fun or exciting either. Anyone who has seen the films about Göta Kanal will recognize the humor, predictable jokes lined up together with funny characters.However, there are well-made drone scenes of cars racing along the roads, nice crashes and well-made stunt scenes.If you want to kill time and turn off your brain, it fits well, but if you want to challenge your intellect, you should definitely not watch this one. The film is definitely aimed at the younger audience.
