O vasilias

This movie was not so much promoted here in Greece,even though it got good actors , great script and rather good photograph was not a so called "blockbuster" movie in my Country. The movie itself is very powerful,it's about the hard time that a newcomer had to go through when he returns in his home-village after been released from a 5yo prison time(drugs) The end is rather sad.... Mourikis is trying to keep up with his part and he handles it pretty well... Lambropoulou is great and very sexy in a strange way and of course Hatzisavvas is for one more time close to excellency... 7 out of 10 because very few Greek movies can make such an impression!

Its a classic anti-hero film; you have watched sooo many similar films.

This doesn't something new or different. The screenplay is "ok" (nothing superb, but ok, fine), the direction and script is also "ok" (fair, good, but nothing to get so much excited), with "ok" music (no other comment), etc.

Seriously, if you watched the FIRST (and ONLY GOOD) film "RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD", its almost the same... without the action, the fights, the chasing, etc. Its far more emotional this film here, obviously, its more dramatic (than "RAMBO"), but seriously, if you watch "RAMBO"... why to watch this one here too?

Its not a "masterpiece", its an "ok" dramatic film, that's all.

Perhaps, one of the most important and enjoyable Greek films i've seen in the last ten years..Excellent performances(especially yiannis zouganelis is great), well-written script and effective direction from a very special, for the Greek very average standards, auteur. A film, obviously influenced by Sam Peckinpah's Straw Dogs, that could be a masterpiece if it avoided some evident and exaggerative situations and symbolizations in the end. Nevertheless, this is a movie which deserves our attention and belongs to that rare category of Greek movies which should be watched outside Greece. It's a shame that in Greece didn't work commercially, in addition with other fake and cursory big productions like Politiki Kouzina..

True story...it happened in the middle of 90's in a village in Peloponnesus
