KONTROLL (2003) - Mar. 3, 2007
About the strange things that happen to a ticket-checker in the Budapest subway over the course of a couple of days (getting progressively stranger as the film goes along), this film sort of reminded me of stuff like Go and After Hours (particularly the latter). It was sort of strange going into this without having any idea of what it was about; I sort of figured it was going to be a thriller or a horror movie, which it definitely was not. I quite enjoyed it, though. It was a good looking film -- dark, but not unpleasantly so. It featured enjoyably quirky characters, and was entertaining throughout. ***1/2
