A business school student (Joel Kinnaman) drives a cab to
make ends meet. When he falls for an uptown girl, he is drawn into a life of
crime to maintain his status, with his fate intertwining with that of two men:
a fugitive coke dealer and the mafia hit man sent to kill him. Swedish export Easy Money offers some exciting action
sequences and a strong lead performance from Kinnaman (who is odd to see speak
his native language after having viewed him in American TV and movies) but its
simple and pronounced plot is blown out of proportion with soppy side stories
thrown in for poor effect.
