Blasted (2022) review

The buddies of high-strung finance bro Sebastian (Axel Bøyum) want to take him out on a Bachelor's Party trip in the woods - he even brings along tech entrepreneur Kasper (André Sørum), who's some sort of Norwegian Elon Musk, in order to impress him - but their male bonding gets interrupted when they realize aliens have invaded and they can only be defeated by using ... laser tag guns (not real bullets ... oh no).  It's trying for this action-comedy hybrid, but quite bad at both - the timing is completely off (it has the dorkiest sense of humor), and it is trying for - but can't get close to achieving - British filmmaker Edgar Wright's tenacious pacing (since it still feels like it's only lurching forward).  Out there to help the lads is incredibly pregnant police officer Hjørdis (Ingrid Bolsø Berdal), who appears as if she's about to become the next Octomom (it's not clear who or where the father is, but I guess it's best not to ask questions like that nowadays).
