Cool Flemish action movie. Expect over the top action sequences. Also a lot of humor. Great acting debute of word famous dj Dimitri Vegas. Ben Segers performance is stunning, Go and discover the city of Antwerp in a way you have never seen before.

This film is over the top, but not bad. It gives you a day in the life of Noah, which is pretty abnormal. It's very fast pace, great soundtrack, insane camera movements and a great performance by everyone (including you Tom Vermeir.) Go see this absolute beast of a film.

No pun intended - especially because you may think of something different than what I mean. Point of ... car is what my summary stands for. And it is because of the movie being inside ... for most of the time. And even when we go outside it has something to do with the car ... like a shot from a part of the car ... reflections and all that.

The main character is played by a Greek and he seems to be "connected" to his car ... like a lot! Don't get it wrong: he loves his girlfriend and his daughter at least as much as the car ... he also knows a bit Greek, though grammatically speaking he is not on top of his game.

A lot of swearing, a lot of action ... combined they make quite the fun movie. (Un)fortunately the rap song has not been released digitally at the time of writing as a friend has confirmed ...

80 minutes pure adrenaline from Antwerp in one of the most surprising movies of the year so far. An over the top rollercoaster. It helps if you have some knowledge of the Antwerp dialect and it also available to know a little about some Belgium political affairs to understand some of the surprising depth which is hidden in this not so subtile movie. The car, I don't know if Lexus was happy with this way of advertising, is used as the point of view of the camera and that really works. The acting, especially from the Flemish actors is superb, but it really starts with the 5 minutes Dutch actor. Frank Lammers makes his short entrance. Only dissonant Mobic Hendricks as Miss Brasschaat.

I'm writing this review to tell you that: watch the end credits and almost till the end. There is a fun addition or two that they have :)

The movie itself is a quite fun and lightweight popcorn movie. I would like to rate it 6.5, but I can't, and I think 7 is just a bit too much. It's because some scenes are overplayed and exaggerated, and they lose their impact and realism. Or maybe everything else is underplayed and sometimes a bit dull.

At some point, it feels like a black comedy, but not all jokes are on that level. The drama is there, but I think they rushed a little bit with these scenes. A few more minutes given and it might even pull a tear.

Nevertheless, it's a fun watch and a good effort.
