    A bit uneven, but way better than my initial expectations!

    Directed by a pair of 21 and 22 year old directors, it's pretty obvious from the onset that this debut feature is not for everyone - at least not for people who can't stand violence, drugs, rude language, sex and an occasional flash of boob or buttock on the silver screen.

    The influence of Tarantino, Ritchie and quite a few others on the directors is quite obvious - the makers borrow freely from a range of films, from Trainspotting to Pulp Fiction to Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels. Fortunately the directors do this with panache and a tongue-in-the-cheek attitude which brings a nod and a smile in recognition of those classics. The Baywatch inspired scene is truly hilarious, and the "losing of virginity" moment has to be one of the best sex scenes ever on the big screen!

    For the first half an hour, it is actually a bit difficult to keep track of all the goings-on. In quickly changing scenes, the silly antics of some rather obnoxious characters are replaced by ... well... more silly antics. However, after one gets over the initial confusion, the film shifts gears and turns toward fast paced action. The darker side of the characters emerges, and the initial low-brow humour is replaced by violence and semi-random killing-off of the main characters. The several different story lines merge nicely, and we get to closure on all the characters. And instead of a typical Hollywood movie where the bad guys die and the good guys ride off into the sunset - here, the punishment is dealt out in a more democratic fashion. Nobody is safe from being ill-treated by the writers' morbid and somewhat sick imagination.

    All in all, it's over-the-top, compulsively rude, somewhat surrealistic and freewheeling piece of action. Incidentally, rumours say that before the film was released in its home market cinemas, an older female film critic watched it for a while, and then stormed off mid-film, decrying "how can such utter trash be called art??" That's worth an extra star by itself :)

    Typical Estonian film: great/good actors, mediocre plot, small budget not enabling "smooth switching"... but still with a difference

    This film, however, is among the Top10 Estonian films I have seen this century. The characters are peculiar and notable, quite realistic (perhaps with some artistic touch added) - performed both by professionals and amateurs, having "good" and "not so good" performances in both categories. Definitely, the stars of this film are Taavi Teplenkov and Priit Võigemast as vicious punishers, but I was also pleasantly surprised how unconventionally our famous singer Ott Lepland did his part (I have to mention that I do not like his songs and him on stage). Female characters are weaker and have less scene time, and none of them could be mentioned as undoubtedly better/memorable than the others.

    The biggest shortcoming of the plot are monotonous and cyclic club scenes.

    Recommended to younger and youthful audience fond of painful realism, but due to strong language, violence and sexual topics it is not a family film. And probably not the film appreciated by film critics seeking profundity.

    • Trivia
      Apparently it's traditional to break a plate on the first day of filming - for good luck. Unfortunately, one of the directors, Andres Kõpper, used a bit too much force and cut his hand with a shard from the plate. They rushed to a pharmacy to get a band-aid, and by the time they finally got one, the pharmacy looked like a slaughterhouse with blood all over the place. The director still has a 2cm scar on his finger.
