The director and producer of this film says that this is the first Hungarian action adventure film. There is only one problem: that they have made it. This film is hundred percent Hollywood copying only in a piteous way. A real Z-category action film worst than a Michael Dudukoff - Dolph Lundgren movie. The script is very simple, very similar to Under Siege2. Only they made it too stupid: the writers have a strange opportunity about the audience: they put the intellectual level very low. They think that people that watch action movies are all mentally retarded. I think not. Well, the summary is that this is a really funny film, altought it shouldn't be one. It is a strange mixture of a Steven Seagal action film and The Muppet show in a banal way.

This is the first Hungarian action movie! Not as good as American movies, but not bad. In this film play Hungarian "stars", like Dobo Kata, Sthol András and more, so this film is popular. Now the filmmakers make TV-series from this movie. It's a good idea.

I personally liked this movie. Compared to Hollywood multi-million dollar movies, this relatively low budget European action film has all the elements that you expect from this genre. True, the plot has some gaps and some overly simple solutions but the movie is enjoyable, good ENTERTAINMENT. The production is the best I have seen from any Hungarian movies (or from any other country in the region, for that matter) ; directing is decent, REALLY GOOD PHOTOGRAPHY, BELIEVABLE STUNTS, AMAZING MUSIC SCORE, fairly good surround sound, etc. Though acting is probably the weakest part of the movie, I still definitely recommend it.

A quite good movie - given the low budget of European action features, the production is surprisingly good (good lighting, superb photography and class A music score), acting is fair, the story, though not original, has enough twists to make the film stand out from the many action-only mindless flicks. No point of comparing to major features; the action is thinner but the idea behind the story is deeper and less predictable than your average Saturday night action/adventure. Acting isn't the strongest point but the directing and production greatly helps to sell the story, and create enough dynamics to keep you interested throughout.

The first hungarian action movie had a very good idea, but unfortunately the realisation was awful. The action parts were stupid and boring (mostly the part where Iván Kamarás shot the terrorists, while holding his gun horizontally), the non-action parts were mediocre (as I have said: good idea, bad realisation) I've given it a 3/10... but if you like bad movies, it's a 9/10.
