I didnt watch from the beginning yet, hence i missed the renown 10 minutes of silences part. Although, the first 15 min i catch this film is already made me curious enough to continue.
Then i look at the title "oh i heard this one a good movie" and carry on watching till the end.
I like the storytelling. It does makes one think as the reviews say. I got alot of thoughts too, on how the mafia world works, on how person like viktor could succeed, on how killing isnt as glorified like it is in averange spy/hitman movie.
This movie is so realistic it made one thinks. It made you thinks about all sort of characters that appeared. But the irony is that even though "a kill" is just a kill, unlike in general movie that "killing a bad guy made the hero hero", it does still felt....abit glorified. But, naturally i guess, since we all rooted for viktor.
Now even though this movie seems perfect, there are obvious thing that either make it works or just simply made it downhill.
It works for others, but for me its the later.
Yes i am talking about bethesda.
The ending isnt completely predictable true, i also kinda missed it. I thought she was just gonna end her revenge on the man and using viktor for that purpose only.
But when she finally show her intention, it just kind of far fetched. To be the only mastermind, to finally be the conqueror of the untouchable viktor.
I mean yeah, it justifies her action. She is been living in hell all this time, not like its hard for her. But this movie rely on the realistic aspect, so she being the only mastermind isnt realistic. You need more than that to deceive your target, and to arrange all the parts to turn like you wanted.
Not to mention if she decide to do this because of the unexpected reunion with viktor gave her thoughts or since the beginning ? If the answer is since the beginning, then it just goes downhill more.
so yeah. It does get a nice ring to it, to destroy a man whom succeed by destroying your life. But like i said, its kinda jump from realistic movie genre into fictional genre.
Duh i know THIS ia fictional story, but you get what i mean right ? Its like....james bond suddenly becoming mission impossible in the last part of the movie.
So ya, despite that i still like the storytelling. Its not a bad movie to watch, would still reccommend it.
I especially like the potrayal of viktor turning from a kill machine into human. The explicit part of when he decide to be with the girl. Its explicit but the get the point across, not just a badly put sex scene just because its an adult movie.
Last about the ending. It doesnt completely catch me off guard because why ? The part of them looking at each other as a kid, already give it away. I remember thinking at one point on the movie, "lol i guess the girl from before is viktor's soulmate. And then she's gonna get revenge", and that, although not in the way i expect, is the whole story for the last part.
