And I expected ''I Fantastici 3 Supermen''
25 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
By the first looks of the film, you may be deceived that this is a film in the same range as ''I Fantastici 3 Supermen'', an amusing Italian film, from the sixties, set in Yugoslavia.

Well, the poster, and the first few minutes of the film promise something similar, but you begin to loose hope at the moment when the protagonist goes to Albania, and you see - what just might be the one of the worst sceneries chosen and recorded for a theatrical release. By the time when the main character is chasing around with Albanian police on a very small steam engine, you loose all hope of recovery, as the scenery is awful (set on a generic abandoned industrial site), and gamma and brightness messed up to make it look like night? The tricks the two protagonists use look made up right on the spot of the shooting, and for people who recognise Albanian and Serbo-croatian language - you're in for a nasty surprise - Albanians (in Albania) speak Serbo-Croatian, and occasionally German. This is rather inconsistent, as only Kosovar Albanian minority (in Yugoslavia) could speak some Serbo-croatian. This is "hilariously" probably noted as Lucky el interpido says in one moment that he also speaks Albanian, with "Yugoslavian accent".

Anyway, the film is filled with gags and tricks, most of them not really funny, and when Lucky travels to the Caribbeans the scenery doesn't even change much, mainly because of bad camera positions, over-saturation and other lightning issues, and the ending is practically a reflection of the whole film in terms of quality.

But it definitely was worth watching. 5 Stars.
