Short Sharp Shock

Gabriel the Turk is fresh out of prison, and plans on staying out; Bobby the Serb plans on working for local gangster Muhamer the Albanian; Costa the Greek is left stuck in the middle. There’s also Gabriel’s sister Ceyda, who dumps Costa early on for a Swede with prospects; and Ceyda’s friend Alice, Bobby’s weary girlfriend who’s introduced to Gabriel at the film’s start. Everything goes according to script… Genre ennui aside, the performances are compelling, and the director throws in two, maybe three uncommon scenes.
