The thing is that you should see this as a movie from Belgium with the appeal of a decent Hollywood-picture. It has the same witty writing, nice atmosphere and good acting. So, even Dutch/Belgian filmmakers can reach that level if they put their heart in it. But that doesn't mean that this movie is mindblowing fantastic, it's just good to see something from our region having a potential.

I'm probably way too late to this party, but dude, I hope you didn't watch this any further. Me personally I should have stopped right in the beginning with the cops standing out in the rain (stupid, stupid, stupid, copycat, no substance all style hollywood-shlock-style shot scene).

Alas, I lasted until the shooting target practice scene with the (stupid, stupid, stupid, copycat, no substance all style hollywood-shlock-style shot scene) main protaginist nailing all shots in the target's head.

1/10

- don't worry that's just my signature.

I was enjoying the film until it reached a point where it seemed to me that most everything was wrapped up with not much more to say. 10 minutes max to go I thought. I had a quick look at the time and it was less than half way through, 56 mins gone and over an hour to go.

This was OK but way too long.
