As a Belgian we might have different opinions about this movie. I thought it was a well made movie with a good story. But most of it's charm is that is raw, straight out of life, because of the use of the dialect language. It's in Flemish, more specifically in the Antwerp dialect. In Belgium almost every town has it's own dialect and for some it is difficult to understand but the dialect from Antwerp is one of those everybody understands in Belgium. Not like the dialect from East or West Flanders that only people from there understand. So I can get that if you don't speak or understand those dialects that the movie looses a bit of it's value. Even though I thought, seeing the budget that is quite high for a Belgian production, the movie has a good story with good actors and a couple of surprising twists. To me it is with Bull Head one of the better Belgian movies from the last decade.

Rumours were out that this was a brutal flick. Have seen it I can say that I can understand that some will have difficulty with the fight scene's. It's brutal but it never becomes gory or messy. But still this is a flick that rises above the mediocre Belgian flicks.

Even as it is spoken in the Antwerp language this time it didn't bother me because the two brothers were low life so it's normal that they can't talk decent. The acting from Kevin Janssens (Kenneth) is really excellent, to say the least, all characters were perfectly type cast and all acting is high standard.

People can't be changed and that's what this flick shows with a twist at the end. A must see.

A break in goes bad and Kenny (Kevin Jassens) gets left behind and takes the rap as his girlfriend Sylvie (Veerle Baetens) and brother Dave (Jeroen Perceval, co-writer) get away. Four years later Kenny gets out of prison to find things have changed. Dave works at a car wash and Sylvie is a cocktail waitress in group. What Kenny does not know and no one will tell him, is that his former girlfriend is now the girlfriend of his brother Dave.

Kenny still lives by his emotions and drags the unwilling Dave into things, as Dave has trouble drawing the line with his brother.

This is a Belgian crime/drama production with English subtitles. The film utilized the slow scenes to build character and to show us how Dave and Sylvie have moved on. Kenny suspects Sylvie is seeing someone else and believes it to be her boss, someone he grew up with as a child. The ending had a twist which I didn't see coming. This is a low budget film that lacks formula writing. Kudos.
