Ballad for a Pierced Heart

What a waste of time after a long period of ''waiting''. A simple rip off of stories similar to stories of Tarantino and Guy Richie. Extremely bad cast and teribble dialogues especially of the main character that looks more like failled footballer than a singer. For some kind of reason director chooses the use inappropriate language in almost every scene that not only it is pointless but also leaves a sense that Greeks talks like that and if you own a night club its ok to talk dirty to everyone include your mother .... Mediocre directing with ''artistic'' meaningless plans. And finally the persistence of the director to use in almost every movie the same actors playing similar roles. Just not worth AT ALL.

Ok, don't miss this one, two hours of pure fun.

Not a second goes by without excitement.

Amazing acting. One of the best Greek movies I have ever seen.

Not worth your time,stereotype all the time,the same dialogues on repeat with a autistic twist.It was some times,I try to cover my ears because I can't stand the yelling and the repeatable phrases (typical Economidis films).The script has no imagination and the only good moment at the end because that tragedy stops..We was waiting this movie for a long time and it was a big disappointment.The Greek cinema must reconstruct and follow other countries before is to late...

I can understand those that like this film and those that don't like the film! If you are not familiar with the films of this director then you won't like the dialogues. The director purposely put the actors to use slang and bad words. If you are not a Greek it will be difficult to laugh with that. The scenario is good and keeps you in some tension until the end.

The actors of every film of Oikonomidis are in tense and get angry very easy. The threshold to be violent is low.

The film is on the limits of realism. There are exaggerations in the characters and in the use of language but these kind of characters exist in Greece.

I definitely will never understand the reviewers that rate this movie with one star. It definitely can't be one of the worst movies they've seen. The movie is well directed and with multiple twists. Actors (especially the protagonist) are doing a great job. Many funny scenes especially if you're Greek.
