Has an energy and enthusiasm that certainly works in fits and starts, but taken as a whole, it's a few explosions (and a lot of yearning) signifying very little. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Bahad j @RT27093708 07/23/2024 This idea of ​​the film shooting technique director made the film more attractive to people. See more Munkhjargal A @RT28084692 07/23/2024 this movie was a crime movie. I also thought it was a very interesting movie. they looked exactly like they did in the movies. See more 06/27/2019 A fun, yet still sometimes heartfelt film, which is both sad and satisfying at the same time. See more 11/29/2012 The message gets lost in it's own bullshit. See more Petros T @PetrosTserpelis 08/12/2012 As good as or even better than prominent blockbusters. The action is there, the humour is there, the romance is there, the message is there. See more 06/16/2012 thought v stylish when i first saw this film 10 yrs ago. one of the films those made me want to visit berlin. i felt the use of manic street preachers, radiohead, richard ashcroft etc was a bit embarassing and the story itself was quite like late 90s - early 00s.
