Supravietuitorul

Unnecessary, a sequel that only brings dishonor to the source material (the original movie wasn't a masterpiece anyway). It's full of bloopers and goofs and untalented actors and actresses, the plot is practically inexistent. But worst of all, are the stolen ideas, stolen from the movie The Deer Hunter, a movie that came out almost 40 years ago, he probably thought he could fool us, he probably managed with some of his older fans. One of the worst movies by Sergiu Nicolaescu, if not the worst, he made it just to add a few more couple of bucks to his pocket, which is a shame. He was probably too old and unfit to direct at that point but it's still no excuse. I do not recommend it to anyone.

Supravietuitorul is the kind of movie that shouldn't have been done but gets done after all simply because the main reason is "money",than the second reason :the fans.Some people would say ,we,the Romanians,make the most authentic movies around...bull...Authentic movies are done everywhere,it is the matter of the acting to make it so,and this one,was poorly acted.I am a huge fan of the bygone era of old fashion movies,but this one ,done in 2008 shouldn't have been out of sync with the voice never ever.I can't cope with that,it is simply annoying.There are actors that are good for Drama,and there are actors that are good for something else...the ones that are good for something else...again shouldn't have been in the movie.Unfortunately (for us) the cast was done not by the way people play...but by the way they used to...

Enjoy it as it is,don't expect to be more than a 5-6 ...

In Romania, Sergiu Nicolaescu's most recent detective flick revolving around the legendary character Commissioner Moldovan gathered the largest audience among all Romanian movies screened in 2008. "Supravietuitorul" ("The Survivor") was watched by almost 26,000 people and cashed over 300,000 RON at the box office. So, the public says it's the best movie of the year. Nicolaescu's movie is followed by "Restul e tacere" ("The Rest is Silence") by Nae Caranfil, Romania's nominee for an Oscar in the best foreign language film category. The best part of the movie is the part taking place in the 1940's Bucharest, the legend of the famous couple Cristian Vasile (singer, a VIP of the time) and Zarada (a gypsy girl). I recommend the movie to everybody.

by gosh, i never saw anything more ridiculous! the poor man is a goner... gone are the times of his Miclovan-Moldovan glory! cant he see he has no grasp of his job anymore? this movies is at the level of a kiddies game, who dress up in mom and dad's clothes and make-believe they are grown-ups! and when they have no means, they say: "hey lets just say that we were doing it!" that hilarious attempt to disguise Bucharest center into a western city! the ludicrous Russian roulette, and the anti-riot squad that comes in the end! :))) its no wonder the audiences were curious to see this monstrous piece of freakish idiocy - as the commenter Gheorghe Popescu, aka Pashpix, namely Adrian Epure, says. This stuff is as attractive as a two-heads calf in the funfair. Comical in a sadly demented way...

I do not agree with people saying this is a bad movie. It's true you see some anachronisms, but Nicolaescu isn't Ridley Scott, he couldn't just empty the streets of Prague, it isn't easy nowdays, without Ceausescu to support him :-))). It's true this is not like the old Comissar Moldovan series, but it is not intended to be like the old ones. People who expect this to be like the classic, are generally deceived. It is wrong to expect this as this is not the purpouse of the movie. This is more an art movie than an action one. It tells some stories using flashbacks and insists on the characters rather than the action. This is what I like the most. This movie bring together the old actors and the new ones, the only one who doesn't fit in this movie is Loredana. I can't believe she wastes 15 minutes of this movie. Whatever, ignore her ... and you'll do just fine. Most of all I like the beginning and end of the movie, specific to Nicolaescu's style. I'm a person who prefers to see the good side of things so I gave a 8/10 mark.
