8/10

Greek cinema cult.

"Ta Tsakalia" is probably what comes to mind when you think cult Greek B-movie.The directing is awful, the acting mediocre but it really doesn't matter. This movie is an exaggerated portrayal of a Greek cast-out in the 80s. Social decay, family fall out, Zundapp motorcycles, gang fighting, robbery and the most historic a**-kicking intro ever by Stamatis Gardelis:"Me thimasai re pousti?" (whoever understands it).
