Movie review

This movie is a great parody that not only tells a story, but also incorporates cinematic elements that make it interesting to watch. The film is well-balanced and attractive, and can only be criticized based on personal preferences. It’s a good movie that has intention, background, and form.

It’s not an action movie like Sisu, nor does it have a “comic book” style. Instead, it draws attention through metafiction and irony, which make the script reflexive and deep. The setting and photography are very good, and while it’s not a blockbuster, it’s magnificently lit.

The characterization of Alexander Scheer is excellent, and the actor fits the role perfectly. The movie is fun all around and has spaghetti western music here and there. It’s a Pulp movie that doesn’t try to be anything else, and it’s definitely worth watching.
