MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
punishmentpark Daan Schuurmans - not my favorite actor, to put it mildly, but I remembered seeing bits from the Bellicher miniseries that came before this, and didn't find it to be all bad. So I had a go at this TV-movie.The plot is completely silly, mixing two big and real issues (identity theft and a government interfering with civil rights for the sake of national security) into a laughable premise, with a lot of terrible dialogues.Schuurmans is again unconvincing, and the rest of the cast is not impressive either. Anna Drijver and Anniek Pheifer are easy on the eye, so that's a plus.'Bellicher: cel' is at times quite agreeable in a cinematographic sense, and there are some pretty good moments action-wise.All in all, quite unsatisfactory. 3 out of 10.
blogurious An almost perfect life can suddenly be transformed into a nightmare you might wish you could wake up from. But when everything leads to believe you are nothing but the culprit, problems can take a lot longer to fix. "Bellicher: Cel" is a good Dutch thriller that deals with stolen identity and the numerous wrong situations that make the victim distrust anyone trying to help. Making justice with our own hands is sometimes the first thought after being denied assistance from the police, but that usually complicates the problem even further and the only way out is proving by one way of the other that you are nothing but innocent. And if in the end everything looks like a government misunderstanding, you realize you are nothing but a pawn in a game of political chess. Good entertainment.
