The Delivery

I am an American who lived in the Netherlands for almost three years. I enjoyed this movie a lot. It's really pretty silly granted but the main characters are a fun group. I can't help but laugh as I write this review. Just thinking of the movie does that for me. I liked seeing the European countryside. There is something about the way the movie is shot that conjures up so many memories for me. I recommend the movie heartily but please don't take it too seriously or you won't have any fun. By the way I have no idea where they got that cover shot for the DVD/video. It's not from the movie! There is another goof that wasn't mentioned. At one point the rear window of the car they are in gets shot up, a few scenes later it's intact!

I was really ashamed while watching this film. An international blame on the Dutch cinema. The worst lines since Cool as Ice! The script was really funny, but not meant to be. Aargh. No oscar this year. I am really sorry for the actors, they couldn't help it, did their best, but to be thrown in such a cinematographic mess... I loved the subtitling, great job!

This is a very cool thriller, about two boys and a girl having to take a load of XTC pills from the Netherlands to spain. Meanwhile they get involved with some terroirists and a renegade cop. It is a sort of mixture of True Romance meets Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. CHECK THIS OUT.

The basic premise is ludicrous, but this movie rocks! Nice balance of drama and action, mixed with some outrageous wit and dialog. Great fun. There are two big weaknesses in the story: the requirement that the two guys make stops at certain times in certain out of the way places, and the flawed premise of the wife being held as collateral. Everything else in this movie clicks very well. I thoroughly enjoyed the ending, and yes it was way way over the top, but I like it! Very good acting and directing. I hope to see much more such excellent film making from this director.

Because it was trashed by Dutch critics I hesitated a long time to rent The Delivery, but at the end I did and I must say it's not as bad as they say. It's fun. Mindless fun, no more and no less.

It's all about two guys who have to bring XTC pills from Holland to Spain. One of them has to leave his wife at the druglord as a deposit and on their way they meet a French terrorist.

Roel Reiné (the director) did a terrific job shooting this film in 35 days with a very low budget, but you can't tell, 'cause its action all the way!

This film is like reading a comic book. Don't take it too serious (come on, it's no Karakter!) and if you don't you'll see a fun, European road movie. This film deserved more credit from the (dutch) critics (who trash just every Dutch film).

My favourite: Guy can't find real love, because he's cursed by a dwarf!

A seven out of ten.
