Actors: Sandor Csanyi, Zoltan Musci
Director: Nimrod Antal
One can go through an easy list of Kontroll's influences - it's the director's first movie and it feels like it. 'I've always wanted to do this - let's do it!' seems like the attitude on some of the odd digressions the movie takes. What's strange about this film is that even though it has a shambling quality to it - it doesn't really seem to conform to 3-act conventions - the characters are almost all stock Hollywood action-comedy film characters. Nor does the plot quite move in the way that some action films do, where the entire film gobbles itself up, leaving no space for the viewer to imagine anything about its characters.
The movie begins with a warning from a Hungarian functionary who evidently approved the shooting locations - he claims that the characters depicted don't represent real people. This is a good reminder of how ballsy it has to be to be a filmmaker in a country like Hungary.
