Boring long Flemish hormone boot legger film
25 June 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is about the exciting intrigue of illegal growth hormone use in cows...and centers on a ball-less main character who uses this hormone expertise and connections to inject himself with testosterone which he lacks. Apparently the police are out to stop the growth hormone use and a cop gets killed. There is a long sequence involving a BMW 5 series and tires that was obscure but by that time I couldn't care less what was going on and couldn't make myself rewind or whatever it would take to understand things.

My God have they exhausted every possible story line to come up with this???

I liked the comment that said this movie looks like it was shot with an old Nokia phone camera....not only that it is endless following some very rural looking Flemish hicks engaged in this less than exciting crime and cops which are hard to tell from the hormone boot leggers.

After about 30 minutes you decide this thing is hopelessly slow and boring.

Strangely this movie seems to have made all the international film festivals---the main character whose privates don't work has a crush on the sister of the guy that did it to him...

Character development unfortunately fails and you don't give a s!@t about the protagonist or any of the characters in this boring thing. I think the problems with it are it is so visually uninteresting and so slow moving that some how you just don't develop any rapport especially with the muscle bound protagonist who injects some testosterone and then starts shadow boxing every 10 minutes. There must be an hour of film showing close ups of his face with what looks like a broken nose.

At about an hour I fast forwarded it to the very end to see what happens...The main character injects and takes every known steroid then turns into the hulk attacking the police and is shot.

DO NOT RECOMMEND
