Synopsis
A bank robber released from jail must unlock his traumatised brother's memory to recover stolen loot.
Moviegoers are saying
This Danish absurdist post-heist dramedy has Mads Mikkelsen playing both John Lennon and a pain-impervious Viking in a bonkers plot that somehow weaves together The Beatles reunion, IKEA obsessions, and Holocaust themes. While audiences appreciate the sheer audacity and twisted humor of this wildly ambitious concept, most feel the execution doesn't quite match the creative madness, with ratings consistently hovering around 4/10.

The definition of an oddball, Manfred / John is a brilliant character for Mads Mikkelsen to experiment with; mostly, it’s a role that’s not physical in a way that showcases the actor’s plasticity. He’s a bespectacled middle-aged man who’s timid and quiet until he’s volatile and hysterical––a surprisingly infantile character that brings out of Mikkelsen something we’re not used to seeing.

Its humane message is potent even though it comes in the offbeat package of this gleeful, violent but entirely successful dark comedy.

The Last Viking elegantly juxtaposes the ludicrousness of the situation (one of the funniest side plots is Werner’s avid Beatle fandom and his apparently sincere belief that this makeshift band is going to deliver high quality covers) with the trauma that underscores the ridiculousness events.
