All not quiet on the eastern front.

What a surprise for this European noir film. I don't know the actors and film makers. But it's worthwhile for a thriller lover like me. I saw some kind of such pictures from time to time. But they are hard to catch on TV airing. Actually, I found it on DVD. it was released in theatres and I missed it. I guess no one saw it. Such a shame.

The tale of a young mob from Estonia, a sort of homeless, but a dangerous one, who lives from some traffics and relations with the Russian mob. He says in the film he has many enemies and some friends too. And the most difficult for him is to separate the firsts from the seconds...We watch here the problems he encounters with some gals, prostitutes and gangsters, in the violent way, as you can guess. But not as I you could expect for such a feature. It's just realistic, no more. This story is the fall of a petty thug, not the rise. It's not SCARFACE. The audience may feel some sympathy for the lead character, the young gangster.

A good noir from eastern Europe.
