Movie | Kontroll | PASS

This Hungarian movie has been stirring up quite a buzz amongst film freaks. Released a couple of years ago, written and directed by a newbie, it's the tale of the leader of a band of crazy subway ticket inspectors. He ends up entwined in a murder who is roaming the underground caverns and falls in love with a girl in a bear suit.

This is one of those gems that gets swept under the carpet and you end up falling in love with. Full of action, suspense, violence, love and friendship, it's gorgeously shot and crafted from end to end. A techno soundtrack reminiscent of Run Lola Run adds to the perfect (claustrophobic) atmosphere.

I've read several reviews stating that the usage up a purely underground metro setting is utterly unique, never been done before.

Uh, Hello? Subway, anyone?

Bueller?

Bueller?

I loved, loved, loved this movie and I can't recommend it enough. Three thumbs up!

Now show me your ticket...
