First of all, let me say, I am glad so many people have seen this film outside Hungary (to be honest, that hadn't happened to any Hungarian film for ages). What's even a greater joy for me, is that most people liked it (judging from votes and comments).
I think, Kontroll features brilliant aspiring actors (instead of the more well known ones, who are good actors, but it is a bit boring, that real young talents are rarely discovered), nice cinematography, a very unified depicting of the dark subterranean world (by the way, the movie does not take place in the Budapest subway - although it was shot there, the plot is set in a fully fictional environment!), astonishing direction and camera-work and a great soundtrack. So, I must say, this is a great movie, but the script is perhaps a bit leaky. It is like if the author could not decide whether to write a dark art-movie, a comedy or a thriller.
To come to a conclusion, I must say, this movie is a bit too alternative for me, certainly not a gripping one... In addition, it is annoying that in Hungary it has become very trendy to love this movie. Howaever, that is not the film's fault...
