I am Greek living abroad. This movie really distilled all the elements of the contemporary Greek society within the crisis in a very aesthetic and powerful manner. Contrast of actions and sentiments, very nice photography (I do not agree with other reviewers having classified it to Hong Kong style thriller) and mostly the eternal Greek fight among duty, justice and the pressure to give in. The main character is in the end heroic as he turns the yvris into salvation.
Worth seeing the movie with fresh look leaving behind any prior knowledge and background on movie styles etc. Just enjoy this pure look of the director and the scenario.
