Haita de actiune

(Disclaimer, I've never left a review on IMDb, but this film was so bad that I had to leave a review)

"Haita de Actiune" is a film that tries to pass off as a police action-parody but unfortunately fails to deliver on any level. It's 99-minutes of extremely poor taste jokes that go to the lowest levels of humor, such as paedophilia and blatant racism.

As a viewer, I was hoping that the film would use its platform to address the corruption in contemporary Romania, especially within the police force, but instead, it seemed to celebrate everything that is wrong without any moments to balance out what is funny and what is wrong.

Good comedy is able to balance laughter with reflection but this film missed the opportunity to provide any meaningful commentary or critical reflection on the issues at hand, leaving a sour taste in my mouth.

After watching "Haita de Actiune," I was shocked to think that more than a bunch of talented people took part in this film and gave it the green light, it doesn't make any sense to me. It's a poor joke that fails to entertain, enlighten or provoke thoughtful conversation. I absolutely regret contributing to its box office and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Who is funding these movies? Oh i know who, because they advertised it every minute. I watched this "movie" with my family and they laughed maybe once over the entire runtime.

Extremely cheap jokes, they rely on swearing way too much.

This movie has maybe 1 actor in it, the rest are singers or influencers.

Storyline? Some people are robbing casino stores in bucharest and the police are in with it? Ok?? It seems like this movie was made only to advertise you stuff and the storyline is just an excuse for these actors ti get paid.

Can't image someone who would enjoy this movie. It is truly the lowest of the low. Rubbish.

The movie gives a lot of hints that it wants to be a parody of the actual state the Romanian police and politicians are today, however even for a parody it is very bad. The story is poorly written, the characters are poorly written, the acting is bad, it is difficult to find something good about this movie. Maybe the good thing is that for a Romanian movie it had improvements in shooting and stunts, still fighting scenes needed a lot more to look good. The main characters is simply stupid all throughout the movie, it doesn't evolve in any way, they try at the end to make him come out in a way but that takes 20 seconds and that's it. Even when trying to milk in the Romanian nostalgia for a beloved character from the 90s it is still poorly executed.

I was impressed by the trailer and immediately wanted to buy tickets to see it but I regret it, definitely one can wait until it comes out on different platforms, you are not missing out on anything. I laughed for 2 minutes and face palmed the rest of the movie.

I didn't have many expectations since all wanna be Romanian comedies are awful ( the ones where Bromania acts to be more precisely), but this one is just the worst "comedy" ever seen. Bad humor, bad "actors" who are actually a bunch of influencers gathered together with no evident talent, very very long for the boring story-line if I can call it so.

I do not understand why Anca Dumitra who is the only one capable and talented actress in the movie accepted to play in something like this. Who on earth can enjoy and laugh at something so stupid with 0 humor, 0 talent, 0 plot. Dont waste your time!

A movie that took the worst American clichés and combined them with the worst Romanian clichés. Bonus, countless advertisements for casinos. Bad actors. The only people who would appreciate such a mess of a film are those who have received fines from the police and now feel vindicated (that's all the intelligence they have).

On top of that, the acting performance is poor. Only two or three are actual actors, the rest are YouTubers, vloggers, and singers. This is reflected in the already weak quality of the movie's script.

The movie aims to be a comedy that tackles issues with the Romanian police, but the result is entirely the opposite. It turns into a festival of cringe.
