Move over 007, there’s a new secret agent here to save the day.
Cop Secret is a campy new cop comedy. It stars comedian Auðunn Blöndal as Detective Bússi, Reykjavik, Iceland’s most famous cop. He’s also a drunk knucklehead who uses aggressively macho behavior to hide the fact that he’s gay and terrified to come out.

After a handful of perplexing bank robberies in which nothing is actually stolen, Bússi is forced to partner with his bisexual workplace nemesis/ex-model Hörđur (played by DJ/actor Egill Einarsson). The odd couple quickly develops a bromance that turns into a romance as they work to bring down evil genius Rikki Ferrari, a Bond-like villain inspired by Donald Trump.

Cop Secret premiered at the Seattle Film Festival last month where it received positive reviews for being a smart, albeit ridiculous, neo-noir satire. Look for it on streaming platforms soon.
Watch.

Looks like it could be fun…those instagram pics don’t hurt. SwedishEgil (I always thought it was ‘Eagle’)…I haven’t heard about him in decades–he’s held up well.

This makes me wanna shoot guns, get into car accidents and make out with cops.

Looks very violent…and didn’t see one inkling of a gay story here at all? Truly looks horrible…never trust a movie with a trailer that says nothing and lasts this long.

I noticed that too. It sure doesn’t look like “a campy comedy”!

Detective Bussy. [giggle]

I was half expecting a drag queen to pop up. Those IG posts have more camp in them than the trailer.

Too funny. Bombs, gun fights, car chases on a grand scale. And Reykjavik a sleepy town with a population of about 120,000. The only thing disturbing the peace there are the drunks on a Saturday night.
