Mjeteconer Just perfect...
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
punishmentpark 'Hardcore' is rarely straightforward about its protagonists, Martha and Nadia. They are two young hookers and they like what they do - to an extent. Especially Nadia is bent on finding a better and easier life for herself, while trying to string Martha along. The two girls are part of a prostitution company, which labels its customers with a range of coloured post-its; purple means the biggest pay.The film is at times dreamy and weirdly upbeat about the prostitutes' lives (with a cynical undertone that does not work as well as it may have been intended), a little too much perhaps, but for a long time it works pretty well. Unfortunately, near the end things get too repetitive and boring, not helped by a rather bland and unsurprising soundtrack. The acting is reasonable enough, but on the whole, it all really lacks the impact it pretends to have.5 out of 10.
pasakor Fun and games it's not, a great movie it is. It's masterfully directed it oozes creativity, it's touching and hard at the same time, it hasn't got a boring moment, it was snubbed by critics, it's in one word brilliant. Dennis Iliadis paints a picture of wasted youth but the movie is much more than a cautionary tale. It is a film about longing, about the need to feel at home, the need of a family. The movie's young protagonists may seem as lost cases to some, but they are no different than you and me. They may sell their bodies they may kill for fun and money, but, hey, we all do what we have to do... Try to see this movie. it's worth your admission money(and then some)!
hpan2012 Seeing Hardcore, many would mistake it for a somewhat ripoff (or homeage) of Quentin Tarantino's films. But it's not. Based on a Greek book, Hardcore brings the life and times of two girls, which adventures start from the gutter and move through a journey to success, with a price. Dennis Iliadis succeeds into what other directors couldn't do in the so called "new Greek cinema" wave.His film captivates the attention of the audience, along with the two actresses who can really act, given the fact that the film does contain nude sequences.It's a perfect mixture of guns, drugs, sex and violence, a trip through corruption and redemption. The film is a little more lengthy though, and it seems that there are two films combined.
jmtms51 The craziest new greek movie I have ever seen. At last a greek film maker "tried" to be ispired by the great Quentin Tarantino. It was about time. Nice scenario, no deep thinking purpose for everything is happening but still so good and fast rolling in the film. The plot doesn't stuck nowhere. Very good filming but very bad sound. The actors are all young and very beautiful (nessesary for the roles they are playing)which means that the casting was very good. The real reason I liked it is that I 've seen from inside this game of hookers and drugs because of my birthplace in Athens. Generally, although I laught very very much but I won't see it again.
