Good start, but then it gets ruined

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This film is like the French film "French Blood" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4168502/ The acting is very professional, straight forward and not over acted which happens in lots of films with violence. Both of these films shows what happens when there is too much of energy, anger and no thoughts how to live life as human until something happens that makes the changes. The film shows well the conflict that arises after one has had enough of all that idiotic ideology and how difficult it is to break the old ways, they keep haunting in the background all the time. Both films are extremely good drama and I would say these are a must to watch especially for all those who think they have all the answers but no idea what to do.

I can't comment on movies from Finnland in general or if there have been better ones in recent past than this one. But I can tell you, that this one is pretty damn good. And hopefully you're not offended by the "d"-word, because there's much worse coming your way in this movie. And while most of it could be viewed as borderline cliché and predictable as to were it is heading, the movie itself is able to not only get away with it, but be mesmerizing nonetheless.It's the central performances (which includes the kid) and also the sensibility with which the movie is handled by everyone involved. Unfortunately stuff like this happens in real life too and it's not just fiction. Is there hope though? For the character(s) involved and for us in general?

I find this movie very enjoyable. Character interactions, emotions, scenes, dialogues and so on. The only problem with it is that it doesn't belong in this world. There are no people like this. I've spent most my childhood surrounded by right wing skins (many of them still my best friends). Then I've spent nearly 10 years being an immigrant and surrounded by people of very mixed origins. Again I repeat - people are not like that. What this movie does is it perpetuates harmful stereotypes and prejudice on both sides in the name of universal love and leftie brainwash. Use with caution.The director is very talented but should rely more on his own life experience when telling stories rather than doing his liberal homework to get praise from his Starbucks friends. I think it would take him to another level.

This movie is so hard to watch, because it is so detached from reality even though it tries to portray itself as a serious movie. This review might have minor spoilers. It is the ultimate political correct movie and try to nationalistic conservatives as the ultimate losers and of course maturity makes you become a liberal.There a gang of "patriots" who are complete dumbnuts with s*it for brains who of course try to make up excuses to attack poor foreign men, who never could do any harm. The protagonist falls in love with a woman who has a black child. The black kid is a poor victim of racist attack by racist Finnish kids who bully him and makes his "new patriot father" seem like a racist which escalates to almost fatal consequences.The 'patriots' of course would never accept a half-black child and he could never show it to them and does his best to hide it from them. The black kid also gets into trouble because of standing up for himself against bullies in school and this leads into our protagonist also getting trouble with the teachers and other parents in school.The movie is indeed quite interesting, but it is the ultimate movie in brainwashing and therefore would not recommend it to younger audience who probably could not see the blatant political ideology it is forcing down your throat. It portrays Finns with patriotic views as completely dumb-nuts and of course most of our characters (i.e school mates and teachers) are of course also very racist and therefore against his son. The main teaching of this movie is to better become a liberal, since if you uphold the view that Europe are for Europeans you would probably be best of killing yourself!
