Proof that you don't need much action to make a compelling film. All you need are compelling characters portrayed by good character actors. This is what the Bucket List should have been if done with a human element.

This is very interesting American-Icelandic adventure comedy co-written and co-directed by Martha Stephens and Aaron Katz, for many reasons. Simple story, two, almost anti-heroes in real life, very slow pace and mostly barren nature... and you get hooked on it! Of course, my hooking could be due to the fact that one of my favourite Australian actors was in it. Starring Paul Eenhoorn (Australian) as Colin and completely insane Earl Lynn Nelson (American) as sex-crazed Mitch, this movie will almost grind its way to your heart. Slowly and relentlessly! A pair of ex-brothers-in-law set off to Iceland in an attempt to reclaim their youth through Reykjavík nightclubs, trendy spas, and rugged camp-sites... and they do it the proper way, without big plans. An adventure of the lonely pensioners, who are still kicking and alive. Very effective directing, a script which was probably only drafted, excellent scenery and two irresistible characters could not fail. Realistically portrayed, it will even annoy at moments, but all that gives you outstanding melancholic yet vibrant resonance.
