It's the best international finance of weapons movie i've ever seen. i watched it because some guy i never met put it in my hands in a video store, and i thought what the hell.
i admit to getting more and more spellbound the deeper it got. Brings up a few questions. Is this a movie everyone else has already known about and seen? Why didn't i hear about it? Is it because...?
So, leave aside for a moment that i'm an idiot for not knowing about this film. i'm watching stunned the entire time, it's a thriller, a modern thriller, but it's so classically Yurpeen that my Ardbeg breath is taken away.
At the end, they run the credits, and i discover (i didn't even look at the jacket of the film, partly because the disc comes just as a disc, in a box from the video store, and there's nothing except the title on the disc)
that the director is Tom Tykwer, who went to school with my ex. Lola Rennt, Run Lola Run. Perfume.
well i digress. if top of the line international finance thrillers are your forte, you've probably already seen this. i'm probably an idiot for even mentioning a film that's already garnered attention, especially by the ETerratti here. Though i'm dumb enough not to have known of its existence,
But if not, three thumbs up. How do you spell Lux em bourg anyway? "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin
