Reviews
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Nicole 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.
Marko J I don't know if some of you are aware of this facts, but Pinki and Svaba are real-life criminals, in fact guy who played Pinki( Dusan Pekic ) was killed shortly after making this film, and I know Milan Maric is also in same thing...I live about a kilometer from place where this movie was shot, just before this movie was released I heard a story about two teens shooting themselves in the same fashion as it is show in film.I must mention that when this movie came out in Serbia, things were really like that, I was then 17, in high school, and I can tell you that then were many such stories, this kind of life was common, and that's the significance of TV show, to show that this was reality for many...
croat-hr This is one of the best films ever made. But it is underrated, how come "No mans land" was so successful in the world (it even got an Oscar), and this one is not? It is very realistic and tragic film, with a little dose of humor. But this humor is not funny if you know how it was and still is there.The last lines of Pinki, when there is no more picture, only darkness left, and he dies when he said: "A sve mi se nesto cini, da sam prosao bolje od vas" or in translation: "I still have a weird feeling, that I came through better then you." - one of the best movie endings ever. Except maybe Fight club.
Dreni Since I'm quite familiar with the Serbian nation and their people, I can just paid credit to the director for a perfect direction of a perfect movie that's based on a pure reality showing every detail without any exaggeration at all. I already watched the movie several times and I'd watch it over and over again without being bored even a minute. The movie itself shows how the life was in the ex-Yu (Belgrade) and I have to give credit to Pinki's father who in my opinion was the best actor alongside Kure, for brilliantly playing the role of a redundant officer, reflecting his huge disappointment towards the government for releasing him from his duties and for never being able to enjoy "his five minutes", despite committing himself 100% to the army in his entire life. I guess that was just one of so many disappointments shown during the movie and there are so many more things which unfortunately could not be shown in the movie, apart from the battles between the Serbian and croatian forces in the short sequence that was shown on TV. That was maybe one of the reasons that the people of Serbia hardly knew what was going around their country and what their government had been up to, while the queues for buying bread were miles long... as it's shown in the movie. Once again credit to the director, crew and especially the actors for performing at the highest level possible.
uomo-2 This is the best gangster movie I saw since Scarface. It tells the story of two teenagers growing up in the anarchy of the post Berlin wall Eastern Europe. The movie's narration is so slick that it only proves that Dragojevic(Preety Villages, Preety Flames) is one of the best European directors.
