Music destroyed it all for me.

I'm really sorry I'm gonna repeat the same things thousands of people said when they watched this utter piece of crap.

To begin with, I cannot accept any excuses made by the fans of this film claiming it's no Hollywood production so that's the reason we didn't enjoy it. NO! We have watched plenty of low-budget films like that, and I can assure you people they were much better. At least they looked like movies. Independent film is something I myself always welcome and support. BUT this sh1t was awful. I couldn't bare watching it till the end.

Direction sucked. The so-called actors did not know what they were saying, and they were just repeating words they had memorized. A more experienced and inspired director could visualize the screenplay in a much better way but sadly, it sucked too. It was a bunch of old jokes and swearing for no reason. The dialogs were useless and didn't offer anything to the whole story.

Principal photography/cinematography sucked. Pretty fool camera angles that did not capture the events of each scene. The camera men were running behind the actors as if they were going after them. All the effects were also totally fake, but that was expected so I ain't gonna whine about that.

Let's just say we overlook all these drawbacks and still try to support this, cause it's one of the first attempts, cause it's Greek, cause it's fun etc... I'd really want to do that if it wasn't the STUPIDEST film score I've ever heard in my life.

The worst element of this "film", the film score, demolished any potential willing of mine to watch it to the end. Could have been lot better if they'd release it mute. It was horrible. It was SO uninspired. The only feeling that this score could create to you is PURE BOREDOM.

To sum up, I really think that the government should not have gave money to receive such horrible results. There are so many movies that ask for money and they're not given and yet they produce better stuff with NO budget. I can't believe the fact that with €100.000 the only thing we got is this Z film-like sh1t which drags the Greek cinema even lower.
