This Swedish crime-comedy follows a hapless salesman who is stricken by a series of unfortunate events. In Netflix’s Trouble, Conny (Filip Berg) is wrongfully convicted of murder after finding himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, initiating a chain of events that make for a uniquely entertaining ride.

Berg’s dry humor perfectly captures Conny’s perpetual misfortune. His tumultuous journey at times verges on the ridiculous, with the movie's comic appeal — alongside its central murder mystery plot — keeping the viewer invested in the action and adding a different element to the film.

Conny’s relationship with his daughter, Julia (Isabelle Aronsson), serves as the emotional anchor amid the chaos. His earnest desire to clear his name and secure a horse for Julia’s birthday provides depth to his character and makes his struggles more relatable. The chemistry between the characters contributes to the film’s charm, even as the narrative itself wades into sillier waters.

WHERE TO WATCH: You can watch Trouble on Netflix or watch the trailer. (runtime: 1:52)
