Trivia:

The director (a big RAFC supporter) insisted that actor Gene Bervoets (a Beerschot supporter) whistle the anthem of RAFC in a scene where he's in the car (Beerschot and RAFC are both football clubs in Antwerpen, with 100 years of enmity dividing their fans). Gene Bervoets, however, agreed to do as requested immediately. Since his character is a complete bastard, he thought it quite logical that he would be an RAFC-fan. more

Belgian quality, better than our chocolate and beer, 9 October 2003
10/10
Author: PieterjanDJ from Leuven, Belgium

If the director Eric Van Looy says he's a fan of Michael Mann, we can definitely see it in this movie. And this is meant in a good way. The action is nicely countered by conversations and humor. Flashy but clear, emotional but not pathetic. Great color palette. A very good balance between all elements which should be in every quality movie. Actors doing a fantastic job, not the stereotype cops, not the stereotype serial killer, but enjoyable, human roles. A story which is well built, has suspense and is keeping you watching the whole film without becoming bored even ones.

After great Belgian drama movies, we encounter now also a great Belgian action movie. I sincerely hope the Belgian movie industry keeps coming with more of this. This movie competes with any action movie made in Hollywood. And I am convinced people are waiting for more of this, just like I am.
