Watch Uno For Free

Very well executed

Absolutely brilliant

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Blistering performances.

OK, this movie has received a lot of harsh comments, even though it is one of the best Norwegian films ever made.Aksel Hennie has written the screenplay himself, he started several years before his dream of the film became realized. The movie is based on a good story, set in Downtown-Oslo. The characters are involved in the shady side of the society, and this gives the film a good plot.As a first in Norwegian film history, a guy with Downs-syndrome plays Aksels brother, who has downs-syndrome. According to Aksel, this gave the character more credibility, and the guy does a really good job.The screenplay, acting and music in this film is top notch, a film worth seeing!

I noticed a comment here, saying that Norway is such a peaceful country, and that this movie is unrealistic, wannabe etc.The environment that sets the basis for this movie is not apparent for "regular" citizens of Oslo, neither is it apparent for everyday people.This movie is great, and we all know that this movie is realistic, whether you want to or not. Some of the actors are great, Bjørn Floberg in particular. He is among the finest actors in Norway, and i wish he starred in more films like this. This is not a feel-good film at all, and it will probably leave you with a few questions, but it is definitely worth seeing.Two thumbs up for Uno

What a great film! It was brilliantly acted and directed and kept my attention and interest throughout. Hats off to Espen Juul Kristiansen's performance as David's brother, Kjetil. The scenes with him and the dog are very powerful and touching. It's a great story...basically about loyalties (similiar to the way that "Reservoir Dogs" was about loyalties) and what happens when you have to choose a side. This is the first film I've seen by Aksel Hennie and I look forward to many more. Why does David smile in the last shot of the film (when it appears that he has nothing to smile about)? Closure. This shot speaks volumes about the character, David and Hennie as a filmmaker. Some directors may have added a scene in which he was talking to his mother about how happy he is that's it's all over and "I'll do better by you and Kjetil from now on." etc. Not necessary, Mr. Hennie. We get it.

This about gang criminality, loyalty to the gang and cowardliness was a very pleasant surprise. I find it to be a realistic picture of how these things operate with well developed characters, good script, realistic atmosphere with sometimes a very strong feeling of anxiety and the actors are all fit their role very good including the mother of David and Kjetil who I find very understanding of the situation and a strong mother. Best is Bjørn Floberg as Jarle though. He is quite scary actually.Aksel Hennie put a lot of work into the script and you can tell. It moves very quickly with no dead points. The relations are thought out. Camera-work is good too, Oslo center-east is put forth as it feels, but not too easily is transmitted through pictures. Recommended together with 'Hawaii, Oslo' in which Hennie plays a similar role in the neighbourhood of this movie and 'Schpaaa' also about Oslo underworld and its affiliation with youths. Both are by Erik Poppe. Not meant to take away the spotlight from 'Uno' though.
