Really fun, dark, twisted tale of the men who take tickets, and nab scoff-laws on the Budapest subway; their social structure and rivalries, forming a blackly comic satire on the nature of society as a whole.
Beautifully shot, stylish and stylized, full of exciting scenes, and dark odd characters. Sort of the Coen brothers meet Eastern Europe ennui. Not super deep, and there are a plot few cheats, but I enjoyed every minute of it.
Note: the US version is not anamorphic, and doesn't do justice to this great looking film. If you have access to an all region player, the Hungarian DVD, with English subtitles - available on Amazon - is a substantial visual improvement.
