Synopsis
In the darkly comedic action film In Order of Disappearance, released in 2014, we follow Nils Dickman, played by Stellan Skarsgård, an upstanding citizen and snowplow driver whose life takes a tragic turn when his son is found dead of a heroin overdose. Convinced that his son's death is tied to something more sinister, Nils plunges headfirst into the seedy underbelly of crime, uncovering a brutal gang war between Serbian drug lords and a chillingly manipulative crime boss known only as “The Count.” The film artfully balances its themes of vengeance and grief with absurd humor, showcasing how an ordinary man can become an unlikely force of nature when pushed to the brink.
As Nils navigates this treacherous world, he encounters a cast of eccentric characters, each more colorful than the last, which adds layers of both tension and comedy to the narrative. The film's unique blend of genres keeps viewers on their toes, oscillating between moments of slapstick humor and intense action sequences. The cinematography captures the stark beauty of the Norwegian landscape, contrasting sharply with the dark themes of drug trafficking and violence. In Order of Disappearance ultimately explores the lengths a father will go to seek justice, while also delivering a sharp critique of crime and morality, making it a compelling watch for those who enjoy a mix of action, comedy, and crime drama.
