When I started to watch this movie and saw that it is mostly a Hungarian production, I thought "Well, it will be pathetic for sure". And it surely was for the first look. I almost laughed my head off when I saw Ganxta Zoli and Kern András (the first one is a rapper, I was at his concert last Wednesday, and Kern is a well-known humorist and actor) appearing. OK, Ganxta as the Russian tough guy was alright, but please, Kern as a serious priest?
What was really disturbing those "Hungarians". I've been in those parts of Romania which is populated by Hungarians, and they just don't look that way. Neither in the mainland. I don't know how they found this many stereotypes, but I'm sure they were searching for years. And some actors played so terribly that I could only laugh.
I stopped laughing when Christopher Lambert appeared. He was just great. I really enjoyed his acting, and the character he played. I think he, and the story was which really saved this movie. The ending, I must say, was surprisingly good.
This movie deserves 6, not more, not less.
