Armed only with a bow and an ensemble of animal skins, Martin sets off into the forest in a misguided attempt to overcome his midlife crisis. A chance meeting with a fugitive named Musa leads to a twisted trip through the fjords with police, drug runners, and Martin's family not far behind. As an unlikely friendship develops and wildly original set-pieces unfold, Martin's quest for manhood leads to deep and hilariously uncomfortable realizations about the presumed masculine ideal.

Critics Consensus

A delightfully deadpan comedy with plenty of heart, Wild Men proves there's still plenty of humor to be mined from the male midlife crisis.

3.5/4

A far more textured story than its first few minutes would suggest... funny and heartbreaking.

...wild Coen-esque caper comedy ensues. But the pervasive air of sadness from the beginning never quite leaves these simple men.

3.5/5

Daneskov and Pape’s "Wild Men" continually surprises in poignancy over and again, even amid the laughs and bloody violence.

5/10

There are gags and moments that work but disappointingly these are few and far between in a movie that promised much but delivered little.

The ending of the comedy/drama Wild Men is very predictable and requires some suspension of disbelief regarding law enforcement, but this movie is ultimately an entertaining story about two strangers and their unlikely friendship as outlaws.
