An almost direct copy of a wonderful Norwegian series. Steven Van Zandt's Portrayal of the fish out of the water mobster in a small provincial town in Norway is almost identical.
Even the storyline is the same. I'm hoping that it's acknowledged somewhere down the line. Stallone is magnificent in this. I guess it's a good thing when you take something simple and wonderful and move on to another level with it. It will be interesting to see where the story arc goes. Steven Van Zandt's Gangster moves in, buys everything in cash, bribes the local pervert, has a kid, opens a bar and employs all of the locals including two brothers.
Anyway was delighted to see this interpretation of the story and seeing Stallone in probably his best role since Copland.
