Movie review
From Short Review - Chicago
The Siskel is using the word Tarantino-esque in the description of this violent crime drama about an ex-con whose life gets messy when his former partner-in-crime comes looking for the loot from their last job together. Whenever someone uses the word Tarantino-esque to describe a film not by Tarantino, we go for our guns, as would Tarantino.Author:

- Posted on Apr 30 2009 00:53 Amazing movie! I don't think that anyone who is not familiar with the communist regime would get it, and for them it will simply be another Tarantino wannabe movie. It is true that it is naked and vulgar, but this is the style of the Bulgarian Cinema. The cast is incredibly talented, especially Zachary Baharov. Really professional adaptation of the novel. I just red the main review, and I simply can not agree, whoever wrote that just saw the trailer and didn't bother to see the whole movie. The script doesn't have anything to do with a "former partner-in-crime comes looking for the loot from their last job together". This is a story about love, dignity, betrayal and at the end, death. And yes it does sounds a bit trivial, but the movie is definitely worth watching, and I can recommend is to everyone who enjoys a bit of thinking while watching hot naked men fighting.
