interesting subject, bad playing

euflorys

The subject is interesting, with potential. The way actors play.... not natural at all. Horia, Elena, Robert are the "champions" in this regard - I do not know which one is more awful. Horia at least has the excuse that is still young. Considering how dark and depressing Romanian movies are in general this one is quite an improvement, it is refreshing the fact that it is based somewhere else than the capital-Bucuresti. First 3 episodes are decent. But the 4th one is a total disappointment.

So we have Robert a ruthless hierarchically climber in law enforcement, with excellent result in his work, he does anything in order to achieve his goals- even kill. Horia and his friend witness such a murder( the gay subject is conveniently inserted here). From here begins the entire action...

In the 4th ep Robert suffers an overnight "lobotomy" and acts like a total newbies... If till here the plot seemed realistic... here things go ballistic, in the wrong way. It is like the movie makers didn't care anymore and wanted to finish faster with it. My biggest problem is the acting. Without exaggeration some of them act as if a stick is inserted somewhere- very stiff, and I now they can perform much better(example Emilian Oprea in Why me)...

score 3/10
