Reviews
Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
espumoso55-1 I hired this movie thinking that I'd find a good Europen thriller. With the ingredients the movie had I expected a more decent movie. However, right from the start, the first incident with the van is confusing (you don't understand what is the content of the load that is burnt, you don't understand why the driver is stupid and, why are two vehicles necessary to carry that load) Right after you learn that the guys have a 1000 euros problem, not so much so as to decide to pass by so many risks.The geography is funny and they go from Netherlands to Belgium and later to France (by the way, the way to save the France border is appalling; if I were French I'd complain as being taken as a moron)and they go to a club in Paris to sell the pills to obtain weapons that, being a bad trade are useless. Then, they decide to go far from there to get a shotgun. Really, the characters were three idiots. And, when I gave up is when the sexual scene of the girl with the British guy start. It looked as if that time had to be filled someway.All this just for paying 1000 euros and a girl as a hostage and with a threesome of morons leading the film. I think that any filmmaker could've done something more decent. This is a botch.
vitachiel Help, I've ended up in cinema hell! What a completely stupid film this is. Really nothing is good about it. Let's spit it out:1) The story is incredibly far-fetched: an anti-EU terrorist group is chasing a bunch of guys who drive around Western Europe carrying a delivery of see-through bags full of xtc pills. And the worst thing is: they are serious about it!2) The level of acting should put great shame on all faces involved. 3) Some money-eyed guy decided to let every one talk English so that the international market would catch on. Ugliest advertising ever! The French and Dutch native tongues talking smart make all but sense and the result is laughable. 4) The soundtrack is totally misplaced and ill-chosen.5) The camera, edit and effects work is supposed to be of some post noir road movie kind of style, but is hardly worth some thing and not meant to accompany this story (read: anti- story).6) Hidde Maas. The hero of Wildschut never fails to convince. A true actor. Usually I would give an extra point just for the sake of him being around. But no, sorry, not this time, I would just not forgive my self...
Thunnis I was really ashamed while watching this film. An international blame on the Dutch cinema. The worst lines since Cool as Ice! The script was really funny, but not meant to be. Aargh. No oscar this year. I am really sorry for the actors, they couldn't help it, did their best, but to be thrown in such a cinematographic mess... I loved the subtitling, great job!
bobske I really hoped for the best with this one, but it just didn't happen. Financed at a very non-dutch manner and still looking great, with a style and pace that's very much like Hollywood. What I don't understand is how-with all these great benefits- the director,writer,producer still managed to make this film a completely horrible picture to watch. Filled with bad jokes, cheap nudity and actors that just can't really talk [act] in the english language. Kudo's for pulling it off, but what was this guy thinking!
