Kopps

2003 · 90 min

A goofy, good-natured romp of small-town cops staging fake crimes, full of slapstick set pieces and deadpan Swedish charm.

Directed by
Josef Fares
Genres
Action, Comedy
Starring
Fares Fares, Torkel Petersson, Göran Ragnerstam
Overview
A small Swedish village, Högboträsk, is so peaceful that crime is nonexistent. The police spend their shifts drinking coffee, eating hot dogs and chasing down runaway cows. This is all well and good for the village's own police, but the police management board wants to discontinue the local police force for lack of crime.
