The Higher Force

I don't know that I've seen an Icelandic film before, but after this one I'll definitely keep a lookout for them.

The Higher Force follows a low-level organized crime lackey as he bumbles his way through trying to move up the ranks and get revenge on the people who pick on him. Full of dry humour and perfectly flawed characters, it feels a lot like some of the offerings from Denmark or The Netherlands.

The writing and the characters really make this. A little fragmented in parts, but the characters hold it together.
