But there are degrees.  There\u2019s the discomfort of having a root canal when the endodontist had run out of lidocaine, and the agony of accidentally shooting yourself in the knee while on a hunting trip.  So don\u2019t feel too sorry for yourself if you\u2019ve had to watch the clock while slogging through 129 minutes of a Swedish film that is a combination video-game (with no winners that we can ascertain) and drama of family dysfunction, combined with the agony felt by a young man in the Swedish sticks when his girlfriend moves to Stockholm.  Some critics will likely praise that Crazy Pictures (that\u2019s a guy named Victor Danell) wrote and directs for the histrionics involving the firing of assault weapons, a helicopter crash, several explosions that destroy more houses than a mid-West tornado, and car crashes with injured drivers acting out additional road rage.  Even the physical action, though, is a welcome break from the tedious goings-on of a guy whose father pilots his own plane yet accuses his wife of buying their son a guitar that the family \u201ccan\u2019t afford.\u201d Middle-aged Bj\u00f6rn (Jesper Barkselius), after smashing a guitar that his wife Anna (Lisa Henni) bought for their dorky son Alex (Christoffer Nordenrot), gives the impression that director Mr. Pictures (can I call you Crazy?) watched a steady diet of American action pics.<\/p>\n<p>Christoffer Norfdenrot in Alex\u2019s role allegedly co-wrote this dud (is that before or after his brain was scrambled in a car crash?) that  Crazy opens on Alex, oppressed by his dad with nobody nearby in the sticks to bring the young lad to safety, or ultimately to show empathy when he thinks he has lost Anna\u2019s affection.  Dad\u2019s fury grows once his wife walks out on him and his son bolts to Stockholm to try his luck with a band.  When it\u2019s bombs away, warfare declared by an unknown villain able even to poison the rain, and Bj\u00f6rn gets his chance to be a hero manning the country\u2019s only surviving electricity distribution center, Anna, supposedly dead, reappears in a secret army base.<\/p>\n<p>Since the company had to work with just two million dollars (16,770,600.00 Swedish krona), perhaps they should have scrapped the vid-game in favor of family drama, even saving some of the allotted krona by cutting a half hour from its length.  After all, Crazy Pictures\u2019 has a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 of shorts and only one other narrative feature and should have taken advantage of the talent therein.<\/p>\n<p><strong>129 minutes.  \u00a9 2021
