Cop Secret

7 / 10

Guilty pleasure alert! An Icelandic Bayhem which weaves in a sweet buddy cop satire filled with hilarious dialogue, the right amount of kitsch and a solid cast. The simple story, which is unsurprisingly centered around the biggest heist in Iceland's history, is covered by an over-the-top sound design with a bassdrum smashing every five seconds and barely edited explosions borrowed from a VFX library, but the very charming chemistry between the reckless police officer Bússi (a very fitting name by the way) and his seemingly flawless counterpart Hörður makes up for that.
