Bahad j @RT27093708 Jul 23, 2024 This idea of ​​the film shooting technique director made the film more attractive to people. See more Munkhjargal A @RT28084692 Jul 23, 2024 this movie was a crime movie. I also thought it was a very interesting movie. they looked exactly like they did in the movies. See more Jun 27, 2019 A fun, yet still sometimes heartfelt film, which is both sad and satisfying at the same time. See more Nov 29, 2012 The message gets lost in it's own bullshit. See more Petros T @PetrosTserpelis Aug 12, 2012 As good as or even better than prominent blockbusters. The action is there, the humour is there, the romance is there, the message is there. See more Jun 16, 2012 thought v stylish when i first saw this film 10 yrs ago. one of the films those made me want to visit berlin. i felt the use of manic street preachers, radiohead, richard ashcroft etc was a bit embarassing and the story itself was quite like late 90s - early 00s.
