A man looking to spice up his life gets a bit more excitement than he expected in this manic
crime comedy.
Arvid (
Dejan Cukie) is a bank teller whose life has fallen into a rut -- so deep a rut that his girlfriend,
Henne (
Trine Dyrholm), breaks up with him for being too dull. Hoping to put some much-needed adventure into his life,
Arvid helps stop a robbery at the bank by bashing would-be thief
Franz (
Peter Gantzler) over the head with a squash racquet. At first,
Arvid is proud of his accomplishment, but
Franz's wife,
Astrid (
Line Kruse), tracks him down and tells him a dubious story about how
Franz was robbing the bank only so he could pay for medical treatments that would allow the couple to have a child. Imagining he can help out
Franz and
Astrid and prove himself a dangerous outlaw all at once,
Arvid plots a robbery of his own bank, and even persuades his brother
Harold (
Kim Bodnia) to help out. But crime is not exactly second nature to
Arvid and his crew, and soon they find themselves on the run from the Yugoslavian mafia. A major box-office hit in Denmark,
I Kina Spiser de Hunde (aka
In China They Eat Dogs) spawned a prequel,
Gamle Mænd i Nye Biler, in 2002.
