An average movie

It has been a while since I wanted to see this movie and it is rather surprising that it took me so long to check it out. It has probably to do with the fact that the Dutch channels don't show that much Dutch movies and rather focus on US productions. Anyway, I wanted to watch it because it has a pretty decent reputation in the Netherlands and the director Tim Olihoek came from the same movie school where I went years ago. Anyway, honestly, I thought it was not bad but it still didn't really blow me away. Basically, it is a rather wacky comedy with some pretty colorful characters but even though it was rather amusing, it was never really hilarious in my opinion. Still, there was a pretty cool cast (Jack Wouterse, Bracha van Doesburgh, Johnny de Mol, Cas Jansen, Cees Geel, Chazia Mourali, Estelle Gullit, Kim Holland) and it was above all nice to see the always dependable Jack Wouterse playing the lead for once. I was also impressed by some pretty convincing action scenes (even using some nifty CGI) which was something I think I had never seen before in a Dutch production. Still, they obviously tried to copy similar American features but even some French movies in this genre are most convincing than this. To conclude, in spite of its flaws, it remains better than most of the average Dutch productions and it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in Dutch cinema.
