Stellan Skarsgård's Nils is a plough driver keeping Norway’s mountain roads clear (he’s named ‘citizen of the year’ for his efforts, hence the film’s native title, The Prize Idiot). When his son dies as a result of the local drug trade, he starts picking off those responsible. Hans Petter Moland’s fourth collaboration with Skarsgård starts out like a Nordic Death Wish, but gradually switches to a very different, darkly comic track as Nils’ violent antics bring a Mafia war to his sparse community. Pål Sverre Hagen provides the broadest laughs as pretentious vegan drug lord Greven.
