Der Wendepunkt

Even if the story is very predictable, the actual acting and events development make it exciting to watch. If you enjoy kidnapping stories that take turnovers and twists, you are going to enjoy this movie. The ending is not difficult and may not appeal to the large audience who believes in fairy tales.

I have seen worst in new wave crime films and this one is a good surprise. An interesting psychological study of characters thru a crime scheme with mobsters. It is violent, sad, but cheap in the production design and directing too. Maybe a bit more ambition could have brought some more fresh blood, but the main thing is saved to keep interest from the audiences.

This is a heartfelt story of bromance of the unlikeliest guys. It's a simple story but it has its tense moments. What I like about it is how the writer is able to capture the growing friendship of Jack and Ludovico in such uncommon circumstances. And as each peels off a bit of himself, I come to understand how this could be possible.

I wished the ending could have been different. I thought the viewer is being set up for a plot twist that did not happen. The plot is not condescending. What happened is so plausible.

Andrea Lattanzi and Brando Pacitto do a splendid job with their characters. Nothing is contrived or wooden. However, I wished the roles of Rebecca and Amanda were more meaty. But, as it is, the script doesn't give them that chance.

This film has the same vibes as the British film, "I Used to be Famous."

Unexpectedly very sweet and gentle film, well written, acted and directed. Both actors and characters are very good and likable.

The script is also quite funny and sad at the same time. Not a masterpiece but a very enjoyable watch. Apart from a little tear at the end.

I did not know exactly what I was going to watch so.... I had no expectations.

Surprise, surprise!!! I liked it very much, different of all the movies I've watched lately, and that is A LOT !!! The two main characters are wonderful, human...after all. I recomend it from the bottom of my heart. We don't always have to watch a GREAT MOVIE, sometimes, simplicity is enough.... Give it a change....
