At some part in my life I must have walked out of a movie theater before because the film on show was too bad to be bothered with. Ghost Rider was unique in this sense that I didn't only walk out, but asked my company if they were just as through with the load of c**** we had been fed up till then. Little to my surprise they were just as ready as I to get up and out.

I'm still traumatized and was happy to hear that even my sister, who definitely has a more base taste in films also was totally disgusted with it and told me off for not warning her against this horror.

As for the film itself; for those who might not have guessed. That consisted of characters that were barely two-dimensional in a story so predictable that even without knowing the comic you could tell everything coming about half an hour ahead. If only IMDb would allow for negative stars.

The film is funny because it's true; this is very much how these relationships work. I read most of the other comments about this film and what I saw was just sour comments coming from people who most likely have got no idea about how these things go. I've seen things like this happen around me in Istanbul over and over again between foreigners and poor Kurds who are simply looking for a way out of their poverty and who would do ANYTHING to get a residency for the EU or US.

What really horrified me was the dismissal of the 'Bulgarian' acts in the film because they are actually very important. They show us how Daniel has gotten himself in an emotional pit where he accepts that his 'lover' has a wife and a life of which he is no part. He even goes as far as rejecting the nephew of Kyril, who is offered to him on a platter and who very obviously sexually arouses him, because he's committed to a man who only sees him as a convenience.
