Plots(1)
Zoli (Zoltán Fenyvesi) and Barba (Ádám Fekete) are inseparable friends and outcasts. Both physically disabled, they live in a rehabilitation facility where life seems rather aimless. Zoli needs life-saving surgery but doesn’t want his absent father to pay out of guilt and pity. Enter Rupasov (Szabolcs Thuróczy), a mysterious wheelchair-using man newly released from prison. He quickly adopts the two friends and offers them a chance to make some extra money by helping him in his work. That work, however, is murder. Rupasov is a hitman. Inspired by his own experiences working as a volunteer for disabled people, director Attila Till skilfully blends reality with fantasy as he offers a gentle probe into the lives of those who live on the edge of society.

The Hungarians are, once again, uncompromising. They turn wheelchair users into assassins and on top of that they approach it as fun. Alright, I get it, it’s not that much of a comedy but, indeed, I was still in a better mood than when I watch some depressing Nordic movie. I like how the Hungarians in particular can be absurd when it comes to humor and here, they did it spot on. The final moment is just a pleasant diversion that made me think about what I actually just watched. But as a whole, the film works amazingly and it’s nice to see that even people with musculoskeletal disorders or those who need wheelchairs can make fun of themselves. I respect and appreciate the movie as a whole. Style-wise it’s similar to the Belgian Come As You Are.

As usual, Hungarian cinema didn’t disappoint. Thanks to the Hungarian filmmakers, I have more evidence of what I’ve known for a long time – us cripples are real badasses. I had no idea that some of my wheel-equipped colleagues might be able to achieve feats comparable to Tom Cruise's character in Mission: Impossible. From now on, I'll be careful about what I say when I hear the screeching tires of a wheelchair behind me in a sharp corner of the hospital corridor.

Hungary can surprise sometimes and I enjoyed this mix of genres from drama, comedy to action with people on wheelchairs. The film moves along nicely and never gets boring thanks to the original premise. Szabolcs Thuróczy's performance is perfect and he occasionally throws in some solid lines. As a bonus, there is a delightfully decent body-count. Enjoyable and memorable. Story****, Action***, Humor***, Violence**, Entertainment****, Music***, Visuals****, Atmosphere****, Suspense***. 7.5/10.
