I didn't know what to expect with this film and looks like the action movie trolls don't like it so much but no wonder as its trying to be much more than a meat headed action flick. Some of the fights like the one in the underpass work great but don't have all the usual 'slow mo punch ' fight clichés, it's all over fast and dirty like a fight in a pub. The films got some wry humour too and does not take itself too seriously why should it? (At one point our tough hero gets handed some guns in a flowery bag ha ha) Yes the Dutch acting is not so great so times but they really used some interesting bits of Amsterdam for locations ...how come the pimps didn't throw them in the nearest canal? the Dutch bad guy cop is great though and I think he should have a series. I really liked this and it made me want to go back and see Amsterdam again. Liked the music tracks too.
