"Reykjavík isn't an innocent little town anymore." Epic Pictures has revealed an official US trailer for the Icelandic action comedy buddy movie titled Cop Secret, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Hannes Þór Halldórsson. This initially premiered at the Locarno Film Festival last year, and it also played at Fantastic Fest, London, and the Busan Film Festival. Arriving in US theaters and VOD to watch this July. Cop Secret, the feature debut from writer-director Hannes Thor Haldorsson (who is also Iceland's national soccer team goalkeeper on top of his work in film), is an Icelandic action-packed, buddy-cop parody that follows Iceland's toughest cop who clashes with his new partner when they team up to solve a series of bank heists. The indie film stars Audunn Blöndal, Egill Einarsson, Björn Hlynur Haraldsson, Steinunn Ólína Þorsteinsdóttir, and Sverrir Þór Sverrisson. It looks like if Guy Ritchie was Icelandic and made a gritty Reykjavík crime comedy,...

There are two ways to watch “Cop Secret,” a wild-ride Icelandic satire of Hollywood action films. One is the classic “switch off your brain” strategy, which allows for an easy digestion of the non-stop parody elements in which each line and every situation is lifted wholesale from any number of cop thrillers. The other, with brain on, makes for a less enjoyable outing, since after a short time the obviousness of it all becomes wearying and the way it milks cheap humor out of a gay subplot sends up all sorts of red flags. Directed by Hannes Þór Halldórsson, who also happens to be the goalie for Iceland’s national soccer team, “Cop Secret” is the kind of movie that has you laughing despite your better instincts and is likely to do strong international business when dubbed into multiple languages. Stateside success however will be a tougher nut to crack.

A national hero at the 2018 soccer World Cup 2018 after famously blocking a penalty shot from Argentine star Lionel Messi, Icelandic-born professional goalkeeper and filmmaker Hannes Þór Halldórsson is poised for another daunting challenge – pitching his first feature as a director, “Cop Secret,” at Sweden’s Göteborg Nordic Film Market.
Picked by Göteborg head of industry Cia Edström as one of 16 works in progress’ discoveries to watch, the Icelandic action drama is based on an original idea by Halldórsson and actors Auðunn Blönda (“The Big Rescue”) and Egill Einarsson (“Black’s Game”) who topline the cast, next to “Trapped”’s Björn Hlynur Haraldsson and Steinunn Ólína Þorsteinsdóttir.
Nína Petersen, Sverrir Þór Sverrisson (“The Big Rescue”) and Halldórsson co-wrote the screenplay. The movie is produced by “Arctic” co-producer Lilja Ósk Snorradóttir of Pegasus Pictures, one of Iceland’s leading production services outfits, having worked on “Game of Thrones”, “Succession”, and “Fortitude,” among others.

Even though Netflix has started to cancel its underperforming series in earnest, that doesn’t mean it lacks for programming. In fact, its slate of offerings is fuller than ever, which makes it difficult for viewers to choose when faced with an embarrassment of bingeable riches.
Netflix’s foreign series, however, rarely get promotion amidst all of the other American shows that have been produced. Although IndieWire has previously provided handy lists of foreign-language series a couple of times, including other imports, that is only a hint of all offerings available.
