Ex-gangster Jos wakes up one day before his wedding with gun in his hand and corpse in his bed. This is not a good way to start the day. He's then accused of having stolen 10 K's of drugs from a gangster. Meanwhile his fiancé is calling him to pick up the rings......
This is, by Dutch (or any) standards for sure, a superb film. Sure, it's not very original, but what movie is these days? Every "30 best movies list of 2017" contains 28 sequels or comic book adaptations.
It is fast paced, with excellent timing, well placed flash backs, but you can't doze off. Which isn't a problem at 84 minutes or so. As far as craftsmanship goes, this is one of the best Dutch or European movies in a long time. Not even Tarantino or Guy Ritchie do it better. Sure, they're a tat more original, but they steal too. Tarantino steals from unknown Asian gangster movies, so that's why he SEEMS original.
Well acted, through out the movie, I would have liked a bigger role for the sister hit-girls, but yah. Even with subtitles, it wasn't annoying.
Melancholic Alcoholic.
