H4z4rd

I'm writing this review to tell you that: watch the end credits and almost till the end. There is a fun addition or two that they have :)

The movie itself is a quite fun and lightweight popcorn movie. I would like to rate it 6.5, but I can't, and I think 7 is just a bit too much. It's because some scenes are overplayed and exaggerated, and they lose their impact and realism. Or maybe everything else is underplayed and sometimes a bit dull.

At some point, it feels like a black comedy, but not all jokes are on that level. The drama is there, but I think they rushed a little bit with these scenes. A few more minutes given and it might even pull a tear.

Nevertheless, it's a fun watch and a good effort.

A man and his beloved car's day is about to go down the drain. Dimitri Vegas, not being an actor is quite good in his role. Jeroen Perceval has a habit of overdoing his roles so much that all credibility goes out of the door and you can only see him as a parody and he isn't helped by a very weak script. A good actress like Jennifer Heylen should have gotten more screentime. The music in this film has 4 tracks that were used in another flemish movie from 2022, the very well made and entertaining 'Zillion', which is weird for 20 year old music tracks. At times H4ZARD looks like a video clip which to me comes across as archaic and lazy. Maybe that's why the director only gets to make one movie every decade. Avoid this one at all costs, there are plenty of flemish movies and series that range from good to excellent, this one is not part of that collection...

No pun intended - especially because you may think of something different than what I mean. Point of ... car is what my summary stands for. And it is because of the movie being inside ... for most of the time. And even when we go outside it has something to do with the car ... like a shot from a part of the car ... reflections and all that.

The main character is played by a Greek and he seems to be "connected" to his car ... like a lot! Don't get it wrong: he loves his girlfriend and his daughter at least as much as the car ... he also knows a bit Greek, though grammatically speaking he is not on top of his game.

A lot of swearing, a lot of action ... combined they make quite the fun movie. (Un)fortunately the rap song has not been released digitally at the time of writing as a friend has confirmed ...

Cool Flemish action movie. Expect over the top action sequences. Also a lot of humor. Great acting debute of word famous dj Dimitri Vegas. Ben Segers performance is stunning, Go and discover the city of Antwerp in a way you have never seen before.

The first 5 minutes after very promising.

A new actor, a .nice car. A man in a mission to be a good daddy and not to drift away to the narrow road.

But there is not a real coherent story, plotholes the size of Vlaanderen, a very short meaningless role by Frank Lammers. The movie isn't really going anywhere and it ends nowhere. Every cliche is being used in abundance. But where the French movie Taxi succeeds in creating a energizing franchise , this is a black hole of movie cliches, bad acting. Go visit Antwerp, get a taxi and take a nice drive. Avoid this mess like the plaque. Don't watch it!
