Profesionalac

It took me a long time to see this movie.Al lot of people told me that it's a good movie and that i should see it but still i wasn't very interested in it.However,after a long time i decided to see it.At first it seemed interesting than it became boring and than it once more became good.There were some good jokes throughout the movie but still those weren't enough to cover the holes in the script.I don't know.Maybe it's just me but...I simply didn't like it that much.I expected a lot more since everyone said that it's a good movie.

The acting was alright,even though it can't be compared with acting from Boris Dvornik,Bata Zivojinovic,Ljubisa Samardzic and so on...

Profesionalac is an OK movie that's maybe worth seeing.I'd rather recommend Balkanski Spijun,Maratonci trce pocasni krug,Kad mrtvi zapjevaju,Balkan express....

6/10 for a few good jokes.

This move Hase so muche emotions, main character life there we are going thru in move, his father and mather, scene made me cray every time, ex cop, whose doghter whase with main character, bunch of fillings but it is beast to live it up to personal experience with this move.

Interesting movie. Nice change from Emir Kusturica's movies. It covers

the life of a philosophy professor. From the mid 1980s until the year 2000

or so. From his days as an opponent of Milosevic to his post as

director of a newspaper company. All of this through his encounter with

"The Professional". This spy unravels his life. Emotional and hilarious

at times with a nice soundtrack. Before you watch the movie, try to

read about the recent history of Serbia (and Yugoslavia). From the days of

Milosevic to his downfall after the Kosovo conflict. You'll enjoy it even more!

The film is a disappointment, especially considering it's based on a far superior theater play. While the play focuses on the eponymous 'professional', and makes us care about that character, while exploring it in depth, the film makes the relationship between the professional and his 'target' its focus, which doesn't work at all. The screenplay for the film comes across as amateurish and confused. It becomes a series of weird encounters and gags, but has no substance. Also, it is tonally confusing and outright nonsensical. It provides no emotional payoff, and on top of that, the casting is not particularly good. If you want to see this, watch the theater play.

Of course, my idea for the title of this short comment has nothing to do with the Matrix Reloaded :) For our readers and viewers outside Serbia, there is a pre-history of this movie: it is being based on the theater play "The Professional" by the same author, Mr. Kovacevic. The main role of Luka Laban has been incredulously played by the famous Serbian actor Danilo Bata Stojkovic (now deceased) and it was mostly known for his wonderful performance. But Mr. Kovacevic went a step further when doing this movie: he decided to place it in the early 2000s, after the Serbian October Revolution, what gave him an excellent opportunity to FINISH the story and make it universal - even very much actual and authentic about the present Serbia. The saying of the story is that regimes may change, but the Secret Service ("Sluzba") remains the same. Once "Sluzba" - always "Sluzba". And it perfectly fits to the post-October Serbia. The movie is highly political, even if not intended to be - it's production coincides with the assassination of the Serbian Prime Minister, the assassination organized by "Sluzba". And just a sentence about the title role: I'm much in favor of Bora Todorovic's version of The Professional!
