    Disappointing movie, full of cliches and self pity

    Was a bit disappointed. Found the story too slow, not enough details or depth. Just the random cliches. Intelligent young man who is disappointed in the life he has and leads, goes on a path of hate, self destruction and blames the world. Yes, I agree that sometimes life isn't easy, but how you handle it and the choices you make bring you on a path that can go left or right. Finding the right path and making the right decisions is what he should have done. Take the job and help yourself and the family. Father can make his demands, but you don't have to follow them. Make something of your life once you're given the opportunity. Your parents have worked and provided for you. Made sure you had a better life than they had. Make them proud. Show them that you will do better for them. I finished watching, because I wanted to know how it ends, but found the misinformation by the news sad. Taken over by all different countries. Smack down center Amsterdam, full of tourist and people and nobody saw of made clips or pictures afterwards. In the social media life we live in today. Yes, I know that fake news is real, but show the other side too. For me it was disappointing. Movie had good intentions but didn't grow the topic ...... just too easy.
