In terms of black comedies, I personally believe that being too effective, especially in terms of performances, is the worst thing one could do. Taking this path often detracts from the experience.
Indeed, while most of the cast, from our criminals to Noomi, delivered excellent performances, whether it was a bitter wife or a bimbo neo-Nazi, the biggest reason I couldn't stand most of the film was because of Aksel Hennie who was simply an unbearable piece of shit for most of the movie, which made me root for the baddies throughout the film. And you know are a complete dipshit where you have me, a Jew descendant, rooting for an apparent Neo-nazi instead of you.
As for the story…
Good chaos!
The Trip is a twisty, hilarious, and entertaining movie about a couple's hijacked plan to kill each other. Noomi Rapace and Aksel Hennie as warring wife and husband sold their characters well, bringing us the strains of a crumbling marriage with comical, macabre ease. These actors are supported by villains who seemed to be having a blast filming too. The Trip's turns gets better and better with each passing detail using A-form script, witty dialogue, inventive storytelling and constant energetic atmosphere. Tommy Wikola should also be commended for his committed direction; maximizing the location, the witty dialogue and the rambunctious climax to its full effect. A black comedy-thriller that's gory, bloody and gruesome without the eek factor, The Trip is a trip worth taking.

For some reason, I did not place that this was Noomi Rapace in the lead until just now when I was writing this. Perhaps because I watched the English dub and it wasn’t actually her voice I was hearing. This was a really fun watch, though. Tommy Wirkola brings the violence and there’s a good amount of pretty hilarious dialogue too. Appreciate the pick because I’m still lagging behind on watching more of Wirkola’s work. Probably about time to watch Violent Night again.
Degrees of Kevin Bacon: 2
1. Noomi Rapace and Joel Edgerton in Bright
2. Joel Edgerton and Kevin Bacon in Black Mass
i really had no idea what to expect with this one, but i loved it. it definitely felt a bit awkward at first, but once things really got going, it had my full attention. this was such a fun comedic thriller/horror film with plenty of violence and a brilliant ending. them constantly leaving weapons on the ground drove me crazy though.
One of the better fjord-centric climaxes I have seen in a movie. Fjans of fjords will fjind a lot to like here.
Sometimes love is a bit static,
As a couple moves toward the dramatic.
A weekend away,
Will go astray,
From the basement up to the attic.
"The Trip" ist ein wirklich wilder Ritt, bei dem Rückblenden dauernd die zentrale Handlung unterbrechen, nur damit man versteht, was gerade jetzt passiert.
Es ist ein cleverer Trick, den das Skript mehrmals verwendet und er bleibt auch bis zum letzten Aufguss faszinierend, da er ständig eine weitere Ebene hinzufügt, gerade wenn wir glauben, die Richtung des Films zu kennen.
Neben den wirklich sehr blutigen Gewaltexzessen, ist der pechschwarze, clevere Humor, vor allem nachdem er die Furz und Scheiße Phase hinter sich gebracht hat, besonders markant und hat mich an manchen Stellen laut lachen lassen.
Ich fand es toll, dass die beiden Hauptfiguren, Lisa und Lars (Noomi Rapace und Aksel Hennie) nach anfänglichen "Unstimmigkeiten", gezwungen waren, sich wieder zusammen zu raufen…
When they do the American remake I hope it's just a sequel to 'Marriage Story' but with guns and gore. That way the "Adam Driver Prophecy" can be fulfilled.
'The Trip' or 'In Bad Times' is a film that takes its wacky premise way too seriously. Like this is some 'Home Alone' type shit and they are treating it with so much unnecessary respect.
Noomi Rapace and Aksel Hennie give really great performances. When the film leans into the goofiness they excel flawlessly.
But this film struggles the minute the 3 convicts show up. It gets so serious that the humor becomes jarring when it returns. 'Ready or Not' did this same idea but kept it funny all throughout and was better for it.
This just didn't click for me as I had hoped.
It’s always a pleasant surprise to come across a Netflix film that I thoroughly enjoy, and The Trip is one such film.
Wirkola and his cast are 100% committed to this film, which really shines through in the final product. The film understands its roots, and exploits them to create a film that is as funny as it is dark, and as fun as it is horrifying. My only really issue is that there were some jarring tonal discrepancies within these differing styles. The darkly comedic exchanges and situations are brilliant, but are stitched between terribly nihilistic themes which, although interesting in their own way, seem misplaced.
Despite its flaws, The Trip deserves to stand alongside Wirkola’s Dead Snow (and perhaps unlike Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters…).
Such a gem to be found in Netflix.. And what a family bonding movie it is all about! Better to go into the movie blind without reading any synopsis about it and you'll get a gory, energetic, with a pinch of Tarantino-esque black comedy thriller and it's just so much fun, maybe the bloodiest thing I've ever seen from some of the releases this year. Noomi Rapace and Aksel Hennie also led the movie brilliantly. My main gripe is that it has kind of TV-movie picture looking quality into it, but it's still worth your time to watch.
The Trip is a bonkers Norwegian black comedy full of bloody comical shenanigans. Similar to last year's Russian Why Don't You Just Die! A couple goes up to a cabin for a seemingly peaceful weekend that turns out to be anything but. Double crosses, shotgun blasts, quirky characters, and toxic relationships make this one of the most entertaining films of the year!
