It's gripping stuff - even if the original title 'Snabba Cash' is way cooler than the English one.

The story is overcooked and the gritty aesthetic (handheld cameras, desaturated color) borders on cliche.
Drew Hunt, Chicago Reader

One of the most involving of the many first-rate thrillers that have come recently from Scandinavia.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Chalk another one up for Swedish crime-thriller novels.
