Average, film noir

Depics the story of a young architect student in todays Belgrade, who is driven by a gang of small crooks, to the extremes. The main character seems like a lab rat in a unrealistic movie experiment. This black and white film with occasional brushes of color, the blood being red, reminds me by its shooting style of Sin City, this gives it a little lift up. But thats it. The English title is: ˝Who the f... is Milos Brankovic˝ , this actually tells a lot about how the creators of this movie tried to make this a spectacular film noir, but just barely achieved mediocrity. Sadly this tendency is repeated throughout the movie, for example with its various sex scenes, which purpose seems to be only to shock or stun. This is a huge problem because the story is rather superficial. There are also elements of the story which are very similar to Hostel 2, like the rich peoples hunting game of the poor and helpless. This ˝borrowing˝ of story elements, leaves me with the impression that that the originality is neglected. The motto of the movie, which is written on a billboard is one of the few intelligent and original elements: ˝Those who believe are raving˝. Meaning there is no God and there is no better tomorrow, everything and everybody is and still are corrupt. The music is probably the best thing in this movie.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen

Incredibly superficial film. During the hour and a half watching the movie (how long) there was no single scene that would have held my attention. After watching the film I feel exhausted and am interested in whether those who have given positive reviews in the kindred relationship with the director of the film, because the only his mom can tell him that this film has some quality.

Can anyone explain to me: where the main character lived before all these events in the movie and how it until then managed to maintain his psychophysical integrity, because in the course of viewing the impression that the only felt from Mars in this whole story and that he is fully socially handicapped. How is it possible that someone so praised Belgrade and said that it was his town, and then, 3 days later, he hates his "lovely Belgrade", kills a bunch of people and he is still seen as the good guy? Milos Brankovic is actually an unstable personality, not to say - an ordinary coward, and the film is one of the top 5 dumbest I've ever watched in my life (including the production side), complains of the god hour and a half I wasted watching this nebula. They even had to put a scene of sex in advertising to entice people to look at this, what can only be called amateur, low-budget attempt to show some kind of reality that is actually absolutely unreal.

I don't understand this "high" art, but you need to understand (refers to a writer who wrote this probably on the toilet seat, and goes for the critics who are likely to get more money than was spent behind the scenes to write anything good about this film): this garbage will be watched by masses. God forbid that this is a view from abroad who has no idea about "high art" (if this movie can call it that) - what will he think, that in Belgrade as soon as you come out into the street or be a shot or you kill all you meet? Perhaps the film is good for director, writer and others who earn money on this piece of garbage, but for the Serbian people this is the worst possible propaganda. Please display your personal dissatisfaction with the little more positive and socially acceptable way. Thank you for disservice, it is no wonder that we all spit.

If you really want to watch a realistic, GOOD Serbian movie, watch Pretty village, pretty flame, Cabaret Balkan, Knife, Who sings over there, The wounds, The professional, The trap...just skip this crap. I gave one star only because I could not give 0.

PS - I want 90 minutes of my life back!!!
