8.5/10
After another Romanian film named Aurora turned the "revenge killer" movie on its head, I was excited to see this one, which turns the police movie on its head. Cristi is a police officer forced to follow and gather evidence on a hash-smoking teenager and his two friends. He slowly finds himself questioning his morals if he follows through with his intimidating superior's demands to arrest the kid. The movie is filled with subtle, pitch black humor and its take on language (the key to the entire movie) is very interesting and refreshing. The final scene in which Cristi is dissected by his superior using the same linguistic devices he played on earlier with his wife is incredible. Some people complained the movie was too slow but it had to be...and I really enjoyed it.
