Leave your thoughts about Schneider vs. Bax.
| Cinema MovilAlberto AcuñaAlex van Warmerdam knows how to play with your expectations with lots of acid humor and a tone that takes you by surprise, making good use of the cliches in the genre. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Seventh RowAlex HeeneyThe mechanics of plot leave less time for casual interactions and character development, which leaves the father-daughter relationship under-explored. |
| JunkeeLauren Carroll HarrisThe film is so funny, so dark, so tightly wound, and its level of craftsmanship so high, that it draws no line between entertainment and substance. |
| The Film StageRaffi AsdourianHardly the titillating thrill ride you might expect from its premise. |
| User ReviewDavid SHitman movies are inherently dark comedies. This is no exception. Warmerdam's direction and pacing keep you on edge. You never know if there is a laugh or a bullet around the corner. Beautifully shot, it's easy on the eyes too! |
| User ReviewRamón DA thriller with a dark sense of humour - a professional hitman had to do a job on his birthday so he leaves his perfect wife and daughters home to prepare for that night's dinner party except the day didn't exactly go as planned. The film is nicely shot and well paced; written with tongue firmly planted in cheek, the narrative twists and turns but flows naturally without too many contrivances. Fun and fluffy, but also a much needed tonic amongst a festival of more serious films. |
