Citulja za Eskobara

This is a great film! Finally a Serbian film that is not made for conquering the world but for audience in the cinemas... Great plot and subplots, interesting and very funny, great portraits of characters who build the base of the movie, even tough the main story is said to be true and really is a good idea for a movie. It will probably be years before people will recognize the values of this "Godfellas" like film, that we had not had a chance to see yet. I like the fact that the director didn't waist precious film time to involve some of the actual problems of our time, which many directors put in their film, probably just to get money from some very worried NGOs... I have really enjoyed. Every shot is just as it is supposed to be considering the information and the meaning it carries... Funny and smart! Great!

When you see the name of Zeljko Mitorvic as producer of the film, you can start yourself asking is this movie worth watching. Anyway, besides that fact that brings nothing good, movie itself have couple of good and funny moments, but if you watched ''Mi Nismo Andjeli'', ''Rane'', ''Dve Palme za Bitange i Ribicu'', you will catch all of the ''seen-before'' gags. Storyline is mainly shallow and holes in the story are to much visible, and goal of the film is unfinished and messy. Acting tough, is good, even if Vojin Cetkovic isn't good choice for mob boss, as his character gain more village boy profile than notorious killer and mobster, what you wouldn't say for Marko Zivic as he acts very effective. Considering camera shooting, effects and design, movie can pass, but when you put it all together it's obvious that this is the movie for home-video market, not for theaters and such. Funny for moments, but easy to be forgotten.
