Tsiou is the name of a junkie that is searching for heroin in Athens in the middle of August, a time where traditionally everyone is away on vacation and every dealer is out of town. But everyone else is looking too and it won't be easy to find with so many competition around.

An excellent independent comedy that despite its low budget depends on its characters and succeeds to entertain.

Tsiou the junkie played by Parisis is excellent and writer/ director Makis Papadimitratos is very talented!

On top of that there is an excellent music score that glues the whole film together.

The story can be seen from miles away. A girl finds out her father lives in England and decides to go and meet him. There is the father and daughter awkward reunion, then the mother comes too, some laughs but that's it.

I knew before she moved to England that she'd tear up the place and teach uptight people how to have fun. We have seen that already and this is just another addition without purpose, except to fill an empty evening with a few laughs.

Colin Firth is excellent as always.

5/10 cause we have seen it before. We just don't remember where! :)

Being a big fan of Punisher and an even bigger Dillon/Ennis fan i expected to see a movie that brought their fantastic world to life. When people told me that the Russian was in i was dying to see it. When they also told me the rest of the cast included his neighbors from the "Welcome Home Frank" series i finally went out to rent it.

What i saw was a huge disappointment because of what i expected. The Punisher wouldn't sit down and have dinner. He wouldn't even hint at a flirt with Rebecca's character. In short he wouldn't be so humane! The fight with the Russian is the only thing i enjoyed. Almost an exact copy of the original! Incredible! To sum thing up. For those of you who will see it expecting a good adaptation of the comic don't expect much. For all others the movie is an enjoyable action film. 5/10
