Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Fyrsten This is a complete crap movie packed with disturbing violence, poor dialog and dull music.****** SPOILER ALERT ****** The movie starts out as a poor C action movie with lots of violence and some wrongs who needs to be righted. And so it runs for 1 hour and 50 minutes and the viewer thinks that the "hero" is gonna settle things and get justice. Instead he gets mashed up by a Pakistan gang together with the biggest prick in the movie and so all the bad guys wins, and the hero is left laying in a pile of blood, blinking his eyes twice before it fades to black. Woah, way to go...NOT! I believe that the filmmaker and star Aksel Henie intended for us to cry and weep after watching this movie, but it simply does NOT work at all. Building up a lot of anticipation of justice for the hero, and then let him get mashed up and probably killed, is not good.It's like putting together a movie who starts out like Sylvester Stallones Rambo and then just before the end, insert Milos Forman's "Valmont" or "Amadeus" with the sad ending, and expect people to think that the movie was brilliant and make the audience cry and weep. It doesn't work that way. If one wants to make a brilliant sad movie, then the movie needs more to it, then just a hero, some bad guys and lots of violence and injustice.This poor made action-movie could have worked if the hero succeeded in getting justice for him and his family.****** End of spoiler ****** If you are looking for a good Norwegian movie, then steer away from this one because it sucks so badly!!!

Rune A memorable film, mostly because of the grim reality-feel in the movie. You can tell that some of the story is bigraphical from the director.Situated in Oslo, it does a good job portraing the city. Most of it's outdoor scenes are filmed in a green-greyish color, which resembles the harsh nature of the aspahlt-story.Also a very good contributor to the good grades is the music; Tom Mcrae's work is amazingly perfect to the film and a crucial part of making this movie memorable, and thus; a film worth owning.The director (who is the guy who plays the main character), started writing on the script in 1996, but it didn't surface as a movie almost ten years later. It has been worth the wait, and a promising start for a young director; please make more films, Axel Henie.

rtankut I watched the film during the Istanbul Film Festival (2-17 April 2005) between two low-tempered films both from Europe, and Uno just suited very well between those two slow ones. The first thing about "Uno" is its tempo. It starts in a smooth mode and goes on like this through the whole film. Even in the beginning, when the main characters were introduced, the movie starts to "move". Both the visual technique Hennie used and the elements of the story serve the the tempo of the film very well. The movie has waves in itself but it never breaks at any point. The second important thing i guess is the atmosphere of the movie. Every place in the movie was well-chosen and well-prepared. The houses, the room of David, the gym... The atmosphere created by Hennie was dark but hopeful. And i liked it. And Tom Mcrae's songs adds a lot to the movie. After all, nice movie even for non-Norwegians!! 8/10.

baks-1 This film is not the one you should see if you want to have a cheerful evening. It is a very strong story from the reality in Oslo's gang/crime world. During the film i felt it in my guts. The depression, the anxiety and the fear the many characters must feel. the director Hennie has made a film that has a nerve during the hole film. A definitive must see film!.!The cast also have a credibility you don't often see (espesially in norwegian movies). For other nordic readers this film will remind you of the danish film "Pusher". Its much the same anxiety the characters feel when they have to deliver money the creepy gangsters. Again a MUST SEE FILM!
