The Whip of Gods. To my friends.

As always in an Aki Kaurismäki picture, there's some laconic beauty here. In many ways, this could be his greatest movie, for instance the first encounter dialogue between M (Markku Peltola) and Anttila (Sakari Kuosmanen) is breath-takingly funny, but towards the end the harmony and structure didn't really hold up.

Sometimes he's pretty much a ghost

A perfect crime film, really.  The drug trade has gone to hell and it escalates into a shockingly exciting and bloody story about scoundrels...
