Ferry

Great cast, score and writing. Grabbed me from the start and it has everything I hoped for after watching season 1 of Undercover. Finally, after seeing Undercover season 2, this made up for it big time. I hope that they do a follow up of this movie.

Admittedly this film is probably very much one for the fans of Undercover. If you aren't already familiar with Ferry from that series, you might not be as excited about this film, but if you enjoyed the series you won't feel let down by this movie prequel.

Yes, some major characters from Undercover are missing, but given that this is a prequel set a good few years before season one, it wouldn't make sense for them to be present. Instead Ferry is placed front and centre and we get a great backstory to the events that ultimately led to him being investigated in Undercover.

Chronologically you could watch this before watching Undercover, but I liked the fact that I already knew aspects of Ferry and Dani prior to watching this and Filip's cameo is definitely funnier.

It's brutal in places, as we've come to expect from Undercover, but there are also touching moments and humour too. Frank Lammers imbues a character that could very easily have been a two dimensional monster with a degree of sympathy. If Undercover continues (and I hope it will), we don't know if Ferry will make another appearance, so this is potentially us saying goodbye to him. I'll definitely watch this again.

Having loved in The Netherlands for the last 25 years, I have met characters like Ferry involved in work where you don't really know what they do but know they know people.

A very good realistic portrayal of how the old school Amsterdam mafia works.

The story shows how traumatic childhood experiences can impact their whole life and way of being.

A good well written script and excellent acting made this movie enjoyable to watch.

It shows a side of Holland that not many tourists will see. It takes us from Amsterdam to the province of Brabant in the south of the country where dialect and way of life is different, surprisingly for a small country.

Recommend.

Just outstanding, beautiful story. This is wat we missed in season 2 of undercover. More ferry! Definitely worth watching! It just a close up in to ferry's life and how he becomes a drug dealer.

This was entertaining. The first season of Undercover was brilliant mostly by Ferry. This is a nice prequel, which I sincerely hope they expand into a spin-off! 2 hours well spent. And Elise Schaap, marry me<3.
