Johan lives a double life, feigning riches in the upper-class social circles of Stockholm at night while driving taxis during the day. When he wishes to maintain his richer lifestyle, he becomes a drug runner for a cocaine dealer, tying his fate to two other men: a mafia enforcer named Mrado and the man Mrado is hunting, Jorge.

What are critics saying?
It's obvious from Easy Money why Espinosa would be going places. So long as he takes Kinnaman with him, the gentleman can have our hard-earned cash.
While overlong and occasionally too reliant on a formulaic set of motives to drive the action forward, Easy Money retains its suave composure right through the engrossing finale.
The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore
A class-conscious Scandinavian crime film whose impact is dulled by some extraneous subplots, Daniél Espinosa's Easy Money nevertheless makes a solid vehicle for Joel Kinnaman.
Village Voice by Nick Pinkerton
A hit in its native Sweden as "Snabba Cash," the English title is a piece of cheap irony; this is a crime thriller where no one gets away clean, and every action has its irrevocable reaction.
Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
Easy Money is not merely an early-career curiosity. It's one of the best underworld films I've seen in years, and Kinnaman gives a fantastic performance in it.
Well acted and acutely observed, the film doesn't try to be a conventionally satisfying coke-land action film.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
In a director's note Mr. Espinosa describes his fascination with "the idea of thief's honor" and with portraying criminals who, from their point of view, "are trying to do good through their own ethics." And this soul-searching quest lends Easy Money a depth rarely found in gangster films.
