“Wild Men” Review!
Director: Thomas Daneskov
Cast: Rasmus Bjerg, Zaki Youssef
In director Thomas Deneskov's "Wild Men", actor Martin (Rasmus Bjerg) plays a protagonist who, after a kind of mental or spiritual break, moves freely from the comfortable family life in Denmark to the forests and mountains of Norway.
It's kind of an empty decision that you believe can lend itself to a kind of slapstick fish-out-water comedy, but the Wild Men only move in that direction for a while, mostly Martin. What sets Koe a real semi - gentlemanly Barbarian, he can sew wounds well, and has an average shot with a bow and arrow. Instead, Thomas Deneskov's film deals with the discovery of how a person can withdraw from modern society before the danger of real life is suddenly thrown into the deportation imposed by Martin himself.
While Martin was hunting in the Norwegian valley, three Danish criminals were carrying a bag of dirty money to be smuggled into Denmark by smuggler, and then their car crashed into an elk, injuring them all. Surviving an accident with money and a dirty wound on his leg, their youngest member, Moses (Zaki Yusuf), finally stumbles upon Martin, forming a temporary alliance as they both go ashore. Soon, however, a local police officer, a little exhausted, reached out to them, warning them of Moses' known criminality and of Martin's recent bizarre robbery.
It's a very busy story on paper and in practice - not to mention Martin's angry wife Anne (Sophie Grabol) or the cunning widowed police captain, who each gets their own subplots - which gets in the way of goodness. May have character. Works with Martin and Moses. The "savages" are absolutely brilliant, allowing the pair to hang out together, joking during their ancient quest, Dneskov, with a strange but often disturbing feeling that can be revealed to a stranger. That you are unlikely to meet them again.
Beijerg and Yusuf are charming heroes with fun and friendly chemistry, and it is their combination that makes the "Wild Men" attractive even if the script derails. The whole thing is a tonal mismash, especially when Moses' evil criminal friends begin to catch up with him, bringing a darkness that destroys the rest of the film's idiotic laziness before the exciting but bizarre climax.
On its way there are some clever observations - Moses' anger at a group of white people living in a cave for no reason to make their life look like 'a refugee camp' - and its lead duo is very friendly, the company builds. As a Nordic adventure, it does not give Eggerus a run for his money, but it is still a solid dude comedy between some gorgeous scenes.
