Milionari de weekend

This was indeed a movie that pointed the youth audience , action is taking place in Romania, between Bucharest and the town at the Black Sea coast named Constanta , the hole plot is about two criminal bands that are fighting for recover a precious statuette that contains a very old ring which has an invaluable power that can harm or protect it's owner. For all of this there is a third band that has stolen it in the first place and three friends and a girl that involuntary happens to have it with the money from the deal that was disturbed in the first part of the movie , without knowing about the ring. They will gonna start spending the money and have fun for a weekend thinking about what lucky they have been finding it. All of this will be spoiled when the bands locate them . And here starts the action.

That all plot it supposed to seems like Hollywood action-comedy movies.

Well, after seeing a lot of Sergiu Nicolaescu's(a famous romanian director) I took a shoot in watching "Milionari de weekend", movie directed by Catalin Saizescu. It's basically a simple movie in which 3 guys and a girl get into a Russian Mafia conflict involving some art museum treasure, some money and you can see where this is getting to....I'm not going to give away any of the events from the movie, just going to let you watch it for yourself. In my opinion,"Milionari de weekend" reminds of Guy Richie's "Snatch" with all the close up footages, events mixed up, russians (there ls an actually Boris character here too..), a lot of characters not really defined...Anyway, some of you might know what I am talking about. On the other hand, I enjoyed some of characters, there's some good laughs in there and yes the fact that there are young actors starring in makes me think that yes, Romania can make movies. That's great! what's next? Laters

As a first note, Romanian rap band "Parazitii" does not appear in the movie :) Beside that, this movie really succeeded keeping me hooked up. Starting the second half of the movie, i was so gotten into the story, that i felt sorry the movie finished. The first part of the movie isn't so bright, the characters don't event try to act. And there are places where it's obvious that "Total Professional Records" did the movie (i say it in the most ironic way possible). But what i liked about this movie is that it kept me hooked up on the action. The script is, in my humble opinion, quite amazing. Also, it's one of the not-so-many movies i would like to see again in the future. The way the movie ends makes you feel like you missed something the first time, you must see it again to get the picture. And one last thing i liked in particular is that on several occasions, you think that in the next frame is going to happen a certain think... that's precisely the thing that's not going to happen. I like that. Sound is also pure genial. Now, the movie also has bad parts, but you can ignore them if you have the will. I gave it a 7/10.

This is one of the worst movies I've seen lately. Frankly I don't even know why I watched it till the end. The story sucks, the American action movie scenes are totally childish, it shows that it's a lame imitation. The actors aren't convincing at all. And the language, oh the language is really awful...They say the lines with a pathetic tone which is totally crap. Don't watch this movie, it will save you 1h40min of your life! I really don't understand those who gave it a 10!!! I also don't understand how such a movie might pretend to have the least success even in Romania. I sure hope the audience isn't as stupid as this movie seems to be.

Yes, I have seen the movie. Yes, I am from Romania. And yes, unfortunately, this is a grade B movie.

The acting is bad - I would go as far as saying that there's no acting.

The plot is (too) surreal.

The script is poorly written - the dialog is terrible.

As a comedy, it is hardly funny.

On the positive side, the only thing that I can think of, is the soundtrack, which is rather good.

Unfortunately this movie portrays the present general attitude of the Romanian society: questionable behavior, questionable taste in the arts. Hopefully, future movies will be better.

I gave it a 4 out of 10 for effort and as encouragement.
