Serbian triler 2.0

[dammir · 9/10 · 18 April 2021]

I loved camera angles and choosen scenes and locations. Cast did their best and Andjelka as Ana gave her very best performance.

Flashbacks and soundtrack fit right into the narrative.

I wouldn't like more, how to say it, edgy ending, after all that trauma and near death experience, characters doesn't go back to regular lifes so easily.

must watch

--- SPOILER ALERT ---

Let me first say that the production design, set locations and some of the performances of the actors (Ljubomir Bandovic) is absolutely amazing. Direction is also pretty good with some great shots of both Belgrade and Split, however I was not a fan of all those PTSD montages since there were just too many of them and are used to fill in the details about the story and is not used to connect with the emotions.

What I have a biggest issue with is a screenplay or the story overall and the way pretty much nothing happens until the last 20 minutes of the film which at that point audience stops caring. That started with Strbac killing himself, which was utterly hilarious to me since we don't know ANYTHING about that character, but not only him but every character in the film. The fact that his ex partner (police chief) is the one pulling all the strings and all characters are magically connected with no reason at all is so stupid that I can't even comprehend. There are too many gaps in the story and characters are poorly written that just kills the mood a film could potentially have.

Another film FSC wasted their money into...

I hope to see more from Darko as a director, but perhaps he should write his own stuff...

Very very poor

First of all, how did the main protagonist lose her memory and why? Second, where was her sister for the last six years? Is it possible they didn't see each other since the fire? What happened to Inspector Strbac, why did he shoot himself? What's with the ludicrous scenes of kid handling a gun? What's with the poorly shot climax at mom's country house, this was so badly executed, almost like a highschool play? Didn't Ana feel any remorse, she was responsible for the fire, in a way? Why the heck was Ana so familliar with the guy to whom her husband owed money?

Very incoherent storytelling, plenty of plot holes, ridiculous behaviour of the characters who are superficial. Some shots were well done but then that climax ruined it all. We have witnessed some short flashes of good acting, mostly from Ljubo Bandovic, others struggled with the weird script. I hate that this movie made me lose interes and that it made me totally confused; most of the time i didn't understand wtf's going on, nor did I care. The end was supposed to be cool, but it was just plain stupid with Ana hugging and kissing a guy who took her a million euros and made her a fake passport. And then she just left, with the smile, well dressed, with some newly found money on the off-shore account. And we should all be happy for her, for the lady who killed her abusive husband in an action that lead to death of 13 young people. So idiotic.
