Our "Corona TV" offers you today a real Sunday Feeld Good Movie from Sweden!

Kops, the original by Josef Fares, is based on an idea as simple as it is good: law enforcement officers become thieves, rioters and kidnappers. How did this happen? We have to imagine the idyll in the Swedish hinterland: Högsboträsk. A place where there hasn't been a crime in 20 years. Four policemen have been stationed there who have not worked for twenty years. One is called Jakob (Fares himself), who is mainly looking for a friend. Apparently with success, because he manages to date the lovely Jessica (Eva Röse)! Too bad she's meeting him the next morning as Jessica Lindbladt from police headquarters. She is the superior the police station in Högsboträsk wants to close down. She offers the four "cops" jobs outside her home village - impossible! Kops plays with the type of "slacker", in the form of policemen. "Slacker", they're losers. They hang out at gas stations or in late shopping and discuss certain topics that are not necessarily part of general education. Above all, however, they are sedentary. The "Slackers" from Högsboträsk therefore take their fate into their own hands and pretend to commit crimes where there are no real ones. An explosion of crime in the middle of Högsboträsk - but Jessica becomes suspicious and investigates on her own... Josef Fare's second film contains a lot of "indie" cinema brand Hollywood. Not only do his protagonists hang out on a snack joint and destroy waffles, the (imaginary) shootouts also look like a Hollywood fantasy. Kops, in any case, is a film that lives from its basic idea, sometimes comes along a bit too sedate and pleasing, but is fun. P.S. Every seventh Swede was watching cops at the movies. Such a big success that of course there was a Hollywood remake. A boomerang in a way.
