Bloodbrothers (Swedish: Blodsbröder)[1] is a 2005 Swedish crime film directed by Daniel Fridell starring Liam Norberg, Thorsten Flinck, Sofia Helin, Thomas Hedengran and Noomi Rapace.[2] The film released on 2 December 2005 in Sweden.[3]

Plot

30-year-old Jon is released after seven years in prison and decides to put all his criminal activities behind him and start a new life.

Cast

Production

Blodsbröder was filmed on a very small budget of 500,000 SEK and took three years to make.[4] The movie is an independent sequel to Fridell's earlier movie Sökarna, released more than ten years later.[5]

Reception

Fredrik Strage called Blodsbröder a "total collapse" ("totalkollaps") in a review in Dagens Nyheter.[6] Esbjörn Guwallius, writing for Swedish film site film.nu, described it as a "positive surprise", while noting that many would probably call it a fiasco.[7] Writing for Svenska Dagbladet, Jeanette Gentele called it "exciting, well exectued and a little bit amusing" ("spännande och välgjord och även litet rolig") while Jan-Olov Andersson called it "better than expected" in Aftonbladet.[8]
