The Price of Power

The film has acting reminiscent of extras and very obvious product placement, but these are somehow the least messed-up things.

Whoever filmed and edited the movie clearly has no clue about either. They haven't heard that using a full-frame camera and keeping the aperture at f-1.4 constantly doesn't make the film look good. They haven't heard about shutter speed synchronization with the frequency of artificial lighting, hence the flickering in dark and indoor scenes. Sometimes autofocus is used, leaving shots where the focus shifts due to automation. The shots are shaky, not to emphasize anything, but because the cinematographer had no idea what they were doing.

The editing jumps from scene to scene, several times cutting people off mid-sentence. It looks like poorly edited montage at times. When showing multiple angles in one scene, the background noise changes, leading me to believe a single camera with an attached microphone was used, and the editing team is handling something for the first time. There's a lack of synchronization between audio and picture due to likely improper re-recording. Probably no sound director, added effects are either too noisy or too quiet, there's a discrepancy from scene to scene due to different settings that no one has balanced. The microphones squeak at times. I don't even want to comment on the action scenes, plot holes, etc.

After watching the trailer I was left with the impression that I'm about to watch a cash-grab movie with celebrity (but amateur) actors just to draw in an audience.

It only went downhill from there. The editing made me furious, as the sound quality was horrible and many of the actor's lines seem improvised and not following any of the so called plot.

Another thing was the in-your-face product placements for a shopping mall, a luxury sports car brand and vaping products. Did I pay a cinema ticket to watch ads? I'd like my money back, please and I'll never watch another movie from this director or production company ever again.

I feel like I watched a workprint, pre-edited version of the movie, but after reading some other viewer's impressions, that'a all we'll ever have for this movie.

I need to smoke a cigarette after this one.

This movie was completely wasting of my time. I wanted to support the Bulgarian cinema, but with this kind of movies, make me regret spending my time. And unfortunately i was not the only one who didn't knew what is going on in the move, other people in the cinema had the same feeling as me. There was one scene where one of the actors said " i don't know what is going on" and all the people in the cinema were admitting the same.

It is extremely hard to follow what is going on in the movie, the scenes are changing every 30-40 seconds and it does not make any sense.

The scenario of the movie is bad therefore the acting is poor as well.

It;s unbelievable ,how someone agreed to spend money to make this silly ....thing...? It's not wasting time,it is robbery. I paid £9.99 for that amateur video. Awful acting,awful scenario,awful music. The music is 2 times louder then the speech,the actors are acting like they are reading autoQ and the most disgusting are the cars adverts. Separate scenes without any connection between them. I struggled to watch it till the end and I'm shocked how those good actors agreed to play in this amateur video. Don't waist time and don't do my mistake to pay for this thing maybe made by blind,deaf and dumb people!

Even staring at the wall is more entertaining than this so called "movie". Absolute trash... I have no words to describe this "thing". Really bad acting (despite there are some good actors in the cast), pop-folk "star" Boris Dali in the main role is absolutely one of the worst things in this parody of a movie. The soundtrack... Pop-Folk music... Seriously?!! Who though this was good idea? But this isn't the worst... Dialogues, plot, cinematography, I can go all day and still can't lined up all the bad things in this cinematic peace of garbage! I hope who made this never ever do a movie again! I hope this review helps others to not waste 2 hours of their life for this cinematic abomination like I did.
