    LOOOOOOOONG. a good movie but just a tad too much. like alot of european movies too much nudity. We get the point, you like naked women. most of the scenes of him as an old man were just unnecessary and didnt add anything at all to the movie. could have been great, but settles for nicely above average better than 6.5 but not really a 7

    DirectorCharles DekeukeleireStarYvonne Selma
    wow so as a fan of short films, and a fan of dekeukeleire...im not so much of a fan of this. his technique cant be questioned, ahead of his time, and still ahead now in some respects. in terms of the film...at times i thought i understand where he was going, then seconds later realized i couldnt be more off. i even later realized that i dont think he knew where he was going with this.
    Comabt de Boxe blows this away.
    oh and why was this 36 minutes? was it meant to be a play on the title?
    i dont really rate shorts, unless they are exceptionally amazing...and this isnt

    DirectorRobert AdetuyiStarsPras MichelJa RuleElain R. Graham
    Statham and Ja Rule yet Pras gets the lead? Why they didnt give Statham the role that pras has, makes no sense to me. Pras might have been good...with less lines and no need to show emotion...or act. Without Ja or Statham its a 3/10. 4/10
