Plot
A security guard is exploited by criminals.
Sinekatalog’s take
Aki Kaurismäki's deadpan tragedy follows a lonely security guard who is used and betrayed. Spare and cold yet tender, it completes his loser trilogy with bleak humour and a glimmer of hope.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
