Tiro al blanco

I've seen this movie at its premiere in my town. It's a movie about two brothers, both talented and interesting in sport shooting. The older one - Igor is an ex world champion, but during the war in 1992 he exchanged his air rifle with a sniper and became a drug addict. His little brother - Sasa is a 19-year-old who can't stand watching his brother being humiliated and tortured by local mafiosos and drug dealers and he himself takes a sniper. The movie is really a story that shows strong emotions, such as love and hate. The emotions strong enough to make a child become a murderer. There were a few things that aren't so true. For example, shooting clubs in Belgrade, Yugoslavia aren't private property, and cannot be sold just like that. Especially the Shooting Club "Milicionar-Krcun", the one Sasa shoots for. Also, Sasa looks like a real champ when he's holding his rifle, but look at him when he's targeting. His rifle is moving enough to miss the whole target. This may sound ridiculous, but in the distance of 10m even a move of half a milimeter means a nine on the target. The 1mm could even be an eight. Off course these things aren't important at all and I'm sure that no one will even notice them. On a scale from 1 to 10, I give this movie a 9.

Touchy movie -

i will no to say maximum movie, but very touchy to cry with it. beginning is the ordinary but after ''wish to not stop''. To found movie like this to watch in DVD store it will take you a two decades. this movie is for broadband presentation, me watching a white/black/latino gun American movies has become ''forward'' option on remote controller - nothing going on. Same concept and not funny any more! I do not how the other nations can get this movies, but if i can get English movies, I guess you can get our movies?!

Only thing I did not like in this movie is TITLE, it is about the bullet target but I would prefer it like brotherhood.

I really like East-European movies a lot (perhaps because they are so realistic) but this Yugoslavian version of "Trainspotting" was one of the greatest surprises I saw this month. It's all about two brothers, one is an Olympic champion in shooting and the other is a junk. It's not so difficult to guess the champ will soon defend his brother using his skills in shooting but this movie is so fantastic made (the dialogues are great and the acting...well you have your typical Russian maffiaguys) that it is a wonderful movie that is like some videoclip...bloody fast but great to be part of the ride!

The entire cast, particularly, Vuk Kostic gave great performances that were both realistic and plausible. Most of the gangsters roles were pretty one dimensional; would have been nice to see other sides of the bullies.

Most of the reviews I had read about the film centre on whether or not it was right/ wrong for Sasa to turn chivalrous vigilante and defend his brother. his seems more in line with the culture in the Balkans where defense of honour and family are more important there than in many other parts of western Europe and the US.

Throughout most of the film I despised Igor for putting his brother through the whole experience and it was only at the end when Igor opens up to Sasa, about his experiences during the war that I begin to feel for him and understand his inability to fight back.

The choice of New Belgrade as the location was great, told a visual story about life in a part of Belgrade and could have been any concrete social housing complex in any European capital.

Definitely a film worth seeing; great acting, great plot and real drama.

Original and very well done. Excellent directing, good picture of Serbian reality and position of youth in it. Pretty realistic colors when it comes to the social environment and every day life surroundings of a teenage in Serbia. Tense and original story leads you to the end watching eyes wide open. As a film-making gore I have to point out that this film was obviously made with minimum of resources and pretty ridiculous budget. Yet, it has shown a powerful result that is much more worth of watching than most of the action movies made today, generally speaking. As for few comments read, I have to underline that this film has nothing to do with Trainspoting. The only link is a drug addiction which is more background of the film. I also red a comment on one dimensional profile of the mobsters. Well, I gotta tell you that this is the realistic pattern of the criminal in Serbia. They might have different characters, but they act in the same way. The downside of the movie is bad acting of some minor roles that really irritates sometimes. Everything else deserves high score. 8 out of 10.
