The final part almost left the line of Y.V., and Yuel Kinnaman appears here only in a couple of episodes. His character has completely moved away from crime, focusing on finding his missing sister. On the one hand, this, of course, is a minus for me, because I started watching the saga precisely because of him, but, I must pay tribute to the film crew - since the plot is all logical, and all the storylines are finished very organically.
The main focus here is on the fate of Jorge, who will not rest in his attempts to quickly and illegally get rich. Matthias Varela adequately reveals his image in all its glory, although the plot itself is not as interesting as in the first part, where there were many parallel storylines. In general, as it seemed to me, the film became too Americanized, that is, lost its originality of ethnic European crime.
The Serbian mafia is shown in all its glory, including from the inside, as a new character is added - an undercover policeman. At the same time, the Russian mafia finally appears here, albeit only in the background. Separately, I want to mention the new Swedish actress Malin Buska – she is beautiful! Perhaps because of it, I am now waiting for two more upcoming projects: the European series Advokaten and the American A Discovery of Witches.

Waiting for a full license, a year after the world premiere still watched the final chapter of the Swedish trilogy - Luxury life", now charged only with positive emotions, the unexpected final denouement can be said a little horrified, besides, there will be no more sequel, it remains to be believed that if Warner Brothers undertakes to shoot a remake, it will come out worthy.
The content consists of life mininovae of the main characters: friendship, betrayal, death, their fates are intertwined together, depend on each other, but they try not to notice this. Significant persons:
Jorge Salinos (Mathias Varela) - Chilean emigrant, former dealer, robber, "brain" of all illegal operations, convicted, soon released, thanks to a deal with cops - "knocked" on the criminal group, in reality a good man dreaming of going home and building a personal life with a loving girl Nadia.
Johan Westland "JW" (Yuel Kinnaman) - once a simple student, hungry for wealth, decided to seek fame with the help of his mind, but the criminal world does not bypass him, the guy is dragged into "sinful nets", where he gets everything, but becomes an unhappy, "driven rabbit", now, the only life "outlet" is to find his missing sister Camilla.
Natalie (Malin Buska) - the daughter of the criminal Yugoslav authority Radovan, who dropped out of Oxford and got into a "whip" because of her dad, she is no longer a little girl, she does not need diamonds, wants to run a family business.
Martin Hajerström (Martin Volstrom) - a seemingly loser who works as a cleaner in the gym, by chance becomes an elected bodyguard in the Serbian mafia, now secret thieves secrets are open to him, but Martin is not who he pretends to be at first sight.
So, those who accidentally stumbled upon S.c. To understand and delve into the whole essence of the film, you should familiarize yourself with the previous prequels, from the very beginning, because they are interrelated - this is a single whole "head-tomb-legs": characters, crime drama stories, philosophical thoughts. Once again, be sure to include the first part, because in the middle of the session there may be shouts - "Who are all these people?", in my opinion, the first weakest of the trilogy, as the plot in the tapes grows incrementally. Undoubtedly, these are amazing three films with a great performance of talented actors. Cinema catches, deserves to be called – “Stockholm masterpiece”, bravo to the authors!
P.S. I note that all wars, murders, failures of heroes occur because of “green papers”, without them it is impossible to exist, it is unknown whether money is happiness, but they are evil or good, at the moment “bablo” rules the world!
Before you decide to take revenge, dig two graves.
Lazy Money is a luxurious life - completes the famous Swedish trilogy. I would like to say that it completes successfully. There were fears that on the wave of success of the previous parts, the creators will not have enough restraint and pragmatism for the last, and they will make a lot of movie cliches. (I note right away, I did not read the book). But the film pleased - the style of presentation of the plot is consistent in the spirit of the previous two films, an unexpected denouement, and most importantly, the present meaning of everything that happens on the screen.
A distinctive feature of the entire trilogy is the manner of presentation of the plot. The plot is simple and not intricate, there is no stop action, there are no mesmerizing special effects - but the film holds your attention and does not "let go" from the first minutes. Simple things (which we are used to seeing on the screen every day) are shown here very seriously and intensely. The story is about the criminal world, so we are shown the personal tragedies of people who, for various reasons, found themselves in it. Throughout the trilogy, we see the development of the main characters in one direction or another. How they make choices, and what follows. I also liked the fact that there is a story concept in all three films. Each film features three characters, of which only two are permanent. It is worth paying attention to.
Ehan (Juel Kinnaman) is an ambitious, ambitious, gifted young man. Ehan comes from a not rich, provincial family, striving for aristocracy and a high position in society. Ambition, lack of restraint, and the desire to get what he wants as soon as possible, lead him to the world of “bombers”, pimps and drug dealers. Ehan is an intelligent and well-mannered person, and the viewer watches as a break occurs in his mind and soul. It allows passions and vices to wrap themselves from head to toe. In doing so, he fights back, fights against himself and his circumstances, and that’s the struggle we’ve seen in the first two films. In the third film there is a very unexpected (especially for me) denouement.
Jorge (Mathias Varela) is different from Ehan in that he is originally in this world, and he does not know how to think in other categories. He is trying to get out of it, start a new, quiet life. But the tools to achieve this goal he chooses based on his worldview. Stubborn and stubborn, he repeatedly tries to get what he wants. And every time he gets a fight from life. She puts him on his knees, puts him on his shoulder blades, but does not finish to the end - his soul is alive (this is manifested in his actions, his feelings). But he can't go back from his template.
Also in "Luxury Life" deserves attention the line of relationship between a policeman working undercover and the daughter of the leader of the mafia clan. The question is, what is a loving person capable of? Can you betray? Can you give up on your principles for your loved one? Can love save you?
From the whole trilogy just blows the postulates of F. M. Dostoevsky. As in his works at the center of the trilogy of man, his fate and his struggle for the right to be called man. Here the war is between the devil and God, and the battlefield is the heart of men. Like the great classic, the recipes for salvation are the same – love and following the voice of conscience. Which of the main characters will understand this? Who will be saved? Who will achieve what they desire (and will achieve it at all)? Who's gonna live? The third film answers these questions. And I was very pleased with the response of the authors, deep and instructive.
Giving an assessment of the film, I note the pros: the play of the actors (especially the main ones) deserves attention and respect; the music is chic, gives the film a special, “serious calorie”; the script is not bad, keeps the viewer at the screen.
Well, the minuses: there are blunders in the script (a scene on the court, a grenade that bursts at will at the right moment) but they are not many, and in general they do not spoil the film.
In the final analysis, the film was delighted. The Swedes showed the world how to shoot a crime drama.

Each next part of the franchise "Spooky Money" loses interest in itself, and inferior to its predecessor both the quality of production and the effect of repetition, turning the spectacle purely into statistics of production companies. Instead of the colorful characters of the actors Dragomir Mrsich, Fares Fares, the third part brings to the fore the hero Matias Padina and several others.
Again, the criminal world of Scandinavia draws many lives into its pack, whether it is the daughter of the Serbian mafia leader, who avenges the death of her father and wants to restore order in his business, or it is again the hero of Matias Padina. Who does not have enough experience of the past to tie up with robberies, robberies, and himself torments himself for sins and murders, but it seems that he likes this fate, otherwise he did something else to change it.
Actor Yuel Kinnaman gave way to the story completely, pleases the viewer with several appearances, but completely erasing the meaning of the existence of his character in history. The film "Spooky Money: Luxury Life" chokes the viewer with a drama that is actually difficult to understand in all the chaos and change of events, and the love story between the daughter of a Serbian mafia boss and an undercover police officer is nothing more than a way to fill the two-hour airwave.
The third part of the franchise with the third director - I think most will understand what to expect, no, in terms of shootouts and fights everything is about the same, even the signature musical composition is present in three films. However, few people care when the film directed by Jens Jonson has nothing to connect not only with its predecessors, but even between the stories within the same film.
The final part of the trilogy is an action movie - light, for the audience deluxe. The main character of the previous two parts appears on the screen two and a half times, the focus is on Jorge (a survivor of injuries), and Radovan - the unkillable leader of the Serbian mafia. Jorge decides to improve financial affairs by pulling off a major robbery, Radovan runs a business, and along the way tries to solve the problems of his daughter, who entered puberty. And yes, the third film answers the question of what happened to JV's sister.
The franchise replaced the third director, now it is Jens Jonson, previously specializing in melodramas, which catches the eye when watching. Fighting scenes were staged by the Swedish old man Hottabych - armed, trained fighters fall like sheaves, clasped with fear, one fighter armed with a pistol, easily turns a crowd armed with automatic weapons into flight, you can continue the listing and further - meaning?
The review allows you to draw several conclusions.
1. All crimes in law-abiding Sweden are committed by evil Serbian bandits.
2. The crimes that the evil Serbian bandits did not have time to commit are committed by even more vicious Russian bandits.
3. Killing a criminal authority is very easy, if you just want (use the film as a guide to action).
4. In Sweden, no one pays attention to the shootings and explosions – everyone knows that it is the evil Russian and the evil Serbian bandits who kill each other. In such situations, law-abiding Swedes happily rub their hands and giggle - fewer Russians and Serbs - means life will be calmer.
5. Serbs’ national hobbies are murder, usually they don’t sit down at the table, and don’t even start a tennis set without killing a couple of people (preferably as many witnesses as possible).
Yuel Kinnaman in the breaks between the filming of “Stray Money”, went to Hollywood, where he starred in “Cape Town Access Code” and the fresh “Robocop”. Obviously, staying overseas caused him irreparable harm, in the third part he has a completely lost appearance - jet lag probably affects.
