    Not very interesting

    Uninteresting film that desperately wants to be "hardcore" and "tough". But speedmetal and p**s-yellow colours lifted from Kieslowski's "Decalogue" alone don't do it! Where's the story? And the three-dimensional characters that we want to care about? Nowhere in sight, unfortunately.

    One to be a classic

    This movie is a classic to me. Being a younger brother, the interaction between the 2 brothers lives seem so clear to me. I can totally relate to this movie, and that makes me wan't to give it 10. The movies ability to touch me so, makes it so real, and the directors understanding of brotherly love and the life of the people in their situation is so insightful, it almost scares me.

    That was the overall impression. A few scenes of a movie making movies worth remembering, makes it all worth while, and cements them as brilliant. A few of them is:

    the background of the city, changing to a blood raging city, when Janus takes the pills, shows GREAT movie art. The crooner music playing in the background at an old lady's apartment, annoying Janus, is also a classic. And also, not to forget, when the younger brother breaks his arm, showing how little he cares and how much he has learned, define him as being marked for life, for his and his brothers sake.

    Ohh, and when the younger brother tells why he ran away from the foster home, I just laughed my lungs out. Perfect comment.

    A sad and wonderful tale of the choices of a family that failed.

    One of the best movies I've ever seen. Period!

    Quite interesting indeed...

    I did find this movie quite interesting indeed. The special way of simply telling a story about other people was something that I did like. I guess this is the kind of film you ether hate or love. The music (not speed metal AT ALL) fits the story which is intensified by the use of the color filters. Sit back and relax and take this film for what it is: A Film...
