Rare Exports, not much to it.

Alright, I'm not quite sure what to make of this. Two very different opinions are conflicting inside my mind. I think it's the dumbest movie I've ever seen, but I liked it very much, at the same time.

Anyway, it's a Finnish film with the use of both Suomi and English. The story revolves around Santa Claus, but not the one that The Coca Cola Company prefers. This one shines a pagan light on Santa's demonic origin. That's about it. And while the whole idea of it is perfect, the director/writer or whoever just failed to develop it properly. It is dull, quick, it has no twists or turns.

However, the setting is great, the actors are excellent and the idea rocks. Because of that, it gets 7 out of 10.

P.S. Review's too short for ya? So is the movie, and its story.
