Reviews
Micransix Crappy film
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
sobot This is, even in Serbia, almost an unknown movie. It is hardly ever shown on TV, unlike many movies from recent years, not closely this good.What is so great about this movie? Not many things I can express in words, but it is simply one of those movies that you enjoy watching and that draw you into their plot. Acting is superb, with several stars like Rade Markovic, Bata Stojkovic and Mira Stupica, but Bekim Fehmiu is the one that gives you the shivers (you may have seen him in "Skupljaci perja" or "Specijalno vaspitanje"). He plays double role, and although his two characters are brothers, he makes them very different.The production may not be very rich, but it succeeds in bringing you to another time, a few-hundred years ago, when Turks ruled Serbia. Even the character played by Bata Stojkovic, who is supposed to be a hero (a so-called hajduk), is a very unusual one, so people depicted here are all real-life people.I am trying not to reveal the plot in any way, since it is very interesting; on its surface, it is a detective story, but it considers very deep motives, beyond any relationship between persons. Well, see it if you get the opportunity!
