Continuity: In the first shot of the black Ford Sierra that they use in the final robbery, the license plate on the car (XB-two digits-two letters) is the same one as on the Opel Senator that was used earlier. In the shot that follows (when they drive up to the elderly couple's house), the car has a different plate, with the combination XH-two letters-two digits. A plate with this combination was not issued until 1998/99. more

Amazing film!, 29 May 2003
9/10
Author: Emmi Visser (hanlinem@hetnet.nl) from Leeuwarden, The Netherlands

This is one of the best Dutch films I've ever seen! The leading actors and actress are really amazing, I'd never expected them to be so good! The story is about two friends, aged 17 and the other one is a bit older, who start to kill people for some sort of local maffia boss. It's very realistic and shocking to see how these men get totally out of control. It's even more shocking to realize this story is based on a true story! 'Van God Los' proves the Dutch film industry can still make beautiful films!
