Wow! Such a good movie.
Purely Joyful Movie!
Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
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.
Everything this film tried to do is done better - and superbly in "Run Lola Run". The Red Haired Hip Cutie, the critical deadline(s), The Lover in jeopardy, and the "Crime Pays-Sometimes" message. BUT, unlike "Lola", it just isn't believable or well put together. It is a labored knock off that might have worked for me if I had seen it before "Lola" - but it pales in comparison. Yes! The Falling Beetle was nice! But that was about the only surprise in the film. Do yourself a favor and see the Real McCoy - (And the REAL hip Red Head!) - in Run Lola Run!
I thought this movie was a refreshing take on your basic road movie. AND DESPITE what you may read above, the acting is fine, the suspense tight and story well-crafted. Maybe the Dutch viewers who gave this a poor review had greater expectations than I did, the few of us who watched this weren't sure what to expect, but I was certainly pleasantly surprised! If you like quirky or offbeat flicks, check this out!
I'm just filling this comment out, because I couldn't stand the fact that a positive comment was featured on the "complete information" page. I really think this to be the worst movie ever made in my country. This is not only because of the terrible plot, the crappy English and a tension-curve that is as flat as our country. No, it is because this was a serious attempt to make a good action movie, conform the Hollywood standard. It had to be "The European Action Movie of The Year".For this purpose they even hired Fejda van Huet, actor in the Academy Award- winning picture "Karakter", to do the job. I don't mind bad films, I can even enjoy them if they are pretensiousless b- movies. but I can't stand movies that are terrible, but supposed to be a-type movies.
