Not a normal movie. It's weird and exciting...

Not a bad movie. But not a good movie. It was too easy to say that, this is so complicated. Interesting, and strange, comedy, drama, action, and ironic. Made for the teenagers, not for the parents. This is an exam work, in a Hungarian filmschool. The screenplay from William Shakespeare's Macbeth. But not a simple old fashioned American movie. This is a modern trash movie.

The most important thing is, the movie cost 60$. Everybody worked for free. Amateur actors and actresses play in this picture. This is the most failure thing. It was on two festivals, but the Hungarian film department, didn't like, because it's too American. I say to you: „Take a popcorn, and a Coke, sit in a comfortable chair, and don't trust me, look and see. And enjoy too. A good manslaughter for you :D

If you love good actions, this movie is for you

Hopefully that was the beginning of a big carrier. I know the director personally, and he was not always satisfied with it, but in my opinion the movie is very energetic and interesting.

There are some really good scenes which I loved, especially in the middle, when the hero was attacked by the bad guys.

The story was from the Macbeth, but, to tell the truth I could not recognize this connection (unfortunately, cause this is one of my favorite plays).

Sometimes the actors and actresses were not authentic enough, but I could see some good acting, too. Congratulations!

Hungarian festivals' sleeper hit!!!

Good points because the movie scenes are conveniently developed, they have good dynamics, the story is good, all in all, it is psychologically correct, "authentic" gangster story. The film's music is well supervised the editing (paralel editing) rises tension. The filmmakers brought an action-packed film to the "screen". One of the best scenes is the "I am not your friend..." one. Talking about scenes, I would mention a less effective one, in my opinion the derangement scene should be the high point of the film, but it's undeveloped exaggerated, without almost any preludes, like a wave in the sea, which came out of nowhere, not set stage by stage, there weren't previous motives for it in the film. And finally another small thing to add, the photography was sometimes too dark, and at certain scenes I would have liked to see a bit more, but this gave a unique atmosphere to the film.
