This movie is supposed to be some kind of a profound criticism on the surveillance society. It does not succeed. It is just very boring, the music is awful, the acting is worse and it all looks very very low budget. It is claimed to be a comedy but I did not find anything seven slightly amusing in it. I do suspect that the short story by Davíð Oddsson which this film is based upon could be a fun read with a clear message but this film definitely is anything but that. Hrafn Gunnlaugsson needs to do us all a big favor and stop making movies, he simply is not good at it and never has been with the exception of Hrafninn flýgur. Opinberun Hannesar is a new low for the Icelandic movie industry, and we have seen quite awful movies before!
