There’s a moment in the movie “Stockholm” when the protagonist, a man named Lars , introduces a friend of his to a woman named Bianca and her female co-worker, as if they’re all out on a double date. But here’s the thing: The two men are, in fact, bank robbers, and the two women their hostages. Such is the movie’s strange tone, which skews more toward a rom-com than a crime drama.
It’s not the first time Hawke and Budreau have worked together. In the filmmaker’s “Born to Be Blue” , the actor portrayed the troubled jazz trumpeter Chet Baker. But Hawke has a lot more fun here, playing a Swedish-born, Texas-raised outlaw who swaggers his way into a bank vault and, inevitably, his victim’s arms.
Rapace, playing the woman who falls for her captor, nicely pulls off the role’s dry humor, as when Bianca gives her husband — who’s expecting to pick her up from work — detailed instructions for reheating leftovers. But her husband doesn’t pay attention, heating up meatloaf instead of fish. Unfortunately, Rapace’s character is otherwise underwritten, with the bank teller coming off like a manic pixie — with a strange, fawning infatuation instead of mania. Other roles are similarly thin.

Review | I wanted to love this Leonard Cohen exhibit, but was overwhelmed by gimmicks and kitschReview: I wanted to love this Leonard Cohen exhibit, but was overwhelmed by gimmicks and kitsch Leonard Cohen recited the poem 'In Flanders Fields' -written by John McCrae. It was good, but I thought maybe there was a recitation by Sir Richard Burton of the poem. Sir Richard Burton does an excellent recording of the Bible. It is not kitsch to have the juxtaposition of election and obituary to perfectly illustrate “You Want It Darker.” The final work. Perfect.
