Valea Mutã

This was based off the show Eyewitness but it really sucked by comparison. It was frustrating and irritating to watch. Don't bother.

HBO crime story, casted and filmed in Romania. A strong woman is fighting police traitors, and a young gay man caught in the middle of it all. The main character (played by Theodor Soptelea) is really trustworthy. if not for other reasons, you should definitely watch this mini-series just for his excellent performance.

A movie produced by HBO, probable low budget, a 17 years old kid on the way to high school?:)), actors playing a cheap theater. Rodica Lazar is missing the reality, Emilian Oprea cheap and unnatural acting unnatural Otherwise SciFi forests,Brasov, gypsy and police. Worth a 1, with great indulgence! I'm wondering why "Umbre" did not continue, even if was as well a copy from an Australian series. About gay story, is something too much for us, I accept but seeing two kids probably is too much. I'm curious what's next? Who's giving more than 1-2 star for such crap, please let me know, probably I did not get the essence of this series. HBO is pushing too much with this cheap copy, just to test our intelligence :))

There is nothing, nothing that comes remotely close to the poor acting in this movie. It could easily get 7-8 stars if it wasn't for the acting.

Almost everyone is stiff. Nobody talks Romanian like this. There are two scenes when the characters should be raging with anger, and yet the actors are zen-calm, no fluctuation in their voice and only tense their facial muscles as if they are enacting their characters via animojis.

Overall the tv show has a good premise, even if it's a remake of Eyewitness (Norwegian), but the actors just do not deliver. At all. If this was a graduation test for acting school, 9 out of 10 should fail.

Expected more from an HBO series. The acting was terrible.
