Can’t Get Into Preview Night? Go See ‘Easy Money’!
So, can’t make it to preview night for Comic-Con? Or just looking for something to do on July 11th in general? Check out ‘Easy Money’. Scott Alminiana and I had the opportunity to catch an advance screening of this film on Tuesday and I have to say…it was great. I’m not going to give a review on this movie because I honestly think it’s one of those movies you need to check out for yourself and form your own opinion on. There’s already a sequel released in Sweden and I can’t wait until it makes its way out here.
Directed by Daniel Espinosa (Safe House), ‘Easy Money’ is a Swedish crime thriller based on the international best-selling novel Snabba Cash by Jens Lapidus. Lower-class business student JW (Joel Kinnaman from AMC’s ‘The Killing’) falls in love with a sexy heiress while living a double life mingling with Stockholm’s wealthy elite. To keep up the facade of his lifestyle, he’s lured into a world of crime. Jorge is a petty fugitive on the run from both the police and Serbian mafia. He hopes that brokering a massive cocaine deal will allow him to escape for good. Mafia enforcer Mrado is on the hunt for Jorge, but his efforts are complicated when he’s unexpectedly saddled with caring for his young daughter. As JW’s journey ventures deeper into the dark world of organized crime, the fate of all three men becomes entangled and ends with a dramatic struggle for life and death.
‘Easy Money’ hits theaters July 11th.
