One of the things I liked about this movie was that even though the characters were extremely prone to violence, it is explained in individual flashbacks that describe various ill fated events that pushed the men to lives of crime and violence. On top of that, the characters are not one dimensional and the writing pretty intelligent which made me appreciate the movie each time I watched it. Seeing the bumbling crooks struggle with their inner demons and try to make a new life, even when they couldn't agree to what that new life should be, was something I just don't see these days from studios that are driven by committee and profit.

Picture: The picture was presented in 2.35:1 widescreen and looked very clear. The color was accurate and any visible flaws minimal.

Sound: The sound was presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo but it didn't seem to have a lot of separation between the tracks. I didn't even notice until the third time I watched the movie though.For those who care, it's in Danish with English subtitles.

Extras: There's a trailer and a promotional reel for Vanguard.

Final Thoughts: I didn't understand some of the context of the movie (I'm an American, it's a bad habit some of us have) but nonetheless thought this was a keeper. A strong cast, solid screenplay, good direction and a sense of humor made this movie stand out from the pack. I'll be the first to admit that a lot of foreign movies are pretty weak but there are also a lot of great ones too. Thankfully, Vanguard provides an outlet for a lot of these movies. I give Flickering Lights a High Recommendation.
