Reviews

No acting, no screenplay, no tempo nor suspense in the progression of the story. It's a mix of drama and comedy that, after many pointless digressions, goes nowhere but to the obvious "epic" battle (it was time) and final doom of the unpalatable hero. Yet there is a little tail that's wagging around with the two youngsters who survived the slaughter, (and two hours of acting) nobody knows how. Life must go on, that seems to be the final likely message, the last banality after many. If production years were right one could say "Seljacka buna 1573" aka "Anno domini 1573" to be an hybrid between the Italian "L'Armata Brancaleone" and the American "Braveheart", botched and barren anyway, and with an amateurish flavor.

Typical TV movie, where the only normal people are police men and women. There is no suspense whatsoever, and where surprises arise is only for the totally unbelievability of situations. Profoundly distorted characters turn around in few days, that is in few minutes. Hints are driving around the viewer till a platitudinous deus ex machina descends on us to explain the yet another distortedly nostalgic reasoning of the true perpetrator. In all this mess af carnage there is also time and motif? for a love story, maybe better say a love encounter. Most of the time is passed on police headquarter and a couple of private residences where the settings are even more trite.
