Black's Game
In the mid to late 90's, the Reykjavik crime and drug scene saw a drastic change from a relatively small and innocent world into a much more aggressive and violent one. The film tells the story of this change through the fictional gang of pushers that took control of Iceland's underworld. The film uses framework a handful of real events from the period; the Ecstasy revolution, two armed bank heists, a large scale insurance scam and the biggest drug-bust in the country’s history. All these events shook Icelandic society profoundly, not least because of the high level of professionalism.
