An Icelandic crime thriller with the gloss stripped away - leaving a bleak, sad and despairing narrative - director Oskar Jonasson's Reykjavik-Rotterdam hones in on a down-and-outer at the very end of his rope. For Kristofer (Baltasar Kormakur) life has been little more than a never ending series of failures and disappointments. Among other things, he made the colossal mistake of smuggling alcohol during his tenure as a shipworker - a little stunt that promptly landed him behind bars. Now, following release, he struggles to pull his life together while working as a security guard and continually attempts to support his family. Then the opportunity arises for Kristofer to do one final tour on a freighter running from Reykjavik, Iceland, to Rotterdam, Holland. Kristofer initially embraces the opportunity to work with his old friends once again - little foreseeing the malestorm of crime into which this move will plunge him. At the time of release, some English language sources misleadingly categorized this film as a comedy. As the above synopsis indicates, nothing could be further from the truth.

Icelandic crime thriller in which a man at the end of his tether is convinced to return to his former life as a smuggler for one last job. To say that Kristofer (Baltasar Kormákur)'s life has been a disappointment would be a gross understatement. Becoming a smuggler was arguably his biggest mistake and led to a lengthy stretch in prison. Unfortunately, upon his release Kristofer struggles to earn enough money to support his family and is forced to rejoin his former crime associates for a risky job on a freighter running from Reykjavik to Rotterdam.
