When his son is murdered by drug smugglers, Stellan Skarsgård’s snowplower pulls a Charlie Bronson on the Oslo underworld. Hans Petter Moland’s slapstick Nordic noir is pitched between The Counsellor ’s straight-faced fatalism and the tongue-in-cheek torture porn of Big Bad Wolves , with all the tonal issues that implies.
