Best Actor in a leading role which goes to the film's leading actor George Georgiou ( vi ) for his outstanding performance in the role of Vangelis. George Georgiou (vi) maybe is the best Greek actor this period for Cy cinema .1st Golden Aphrodite nominated film screening was a complete success! Around 300 people attended the Cypriot movie (Evolutions) the global recognition actor George Georgiou ( vi ) won the best comments for his role Tha phenomenon actor George Georgiou (vi). Mysterious, enigmatic, spiritual, George Georgiou ( vi) touches us as a passionate and talented actor. His performances and art has touched many during the years he has been gracing our screens and honoring the stage with his presence. It is no wonder that he has become a the greatest name in Greece and is loved and appreciated by many. His career has spanned globally into his roles as the Vangelis ,Apostolis, Hector and many more.

Through the film Chain Reaction we want to show trends and to address many of the problems that exist in a society today. In the beginning of the film there occurs an event, Hector hits with his car a student Philip and bleeding abandons him in the middle of the road. This fact is the missing link in the Chain Reaction. But, as when a chain link is to be broken, it affects all other links, same as here; this affected all the characters of the film directly and indirectly throughout time, causing multiple Chain Reactions. After the event, we go back a short period of time before, showing several parallel stories of different characters and slowly the evolution of the movie, especially how after the Philips accident they meet and become one, and how all stories are linked together.

The film is very good. Very clever script and a very good directing. Most interpretations of the actors are very good, but the difference in the film makes it by George Georgiou (vi) with his huge acting ability he raising the whole film to other levels and other standards. George Georgiou (VI) is a very good actor actually the best in Cyprus this period.He knows how to play it. And he is very adept at creating this Vangelis character to current audiences, he may be best , and the best for the film with his outstanding performance as Vangelis . In his interview George Georgiou (vi) said "Everything is difficult but everything is become more easy (easier) when there is patience and love The Greek actor is the best actor in Alisidoti Exelixi and he makes the difference.

This is one of the best Greek movies I have seen in the last years.is a film i enjoyed very much.Although the language and the situations it refers are Hellenic I think that the message of the film(chain reaction) is international. The three main actors were great (I especially enjoyed Vangelis and Themis) and the script one of the best Hellenic scripts of recent times.I strongly encourage anyone who can see this film(I don't know if it has been translated)to watch it just for the joy of watching the actors.This movie its on my top 3 Greek movies.From all stories i liked mostly the third one, it had to do with something that can happen to anybody at anytime. both the other stories were very nice and strong, but the last one made me feel that the main character was my own friend and i felt the same feelings i feel when a friend of mine is in a bad situation and needs help. i wish that Greek producers and directors were able to do really good films like that one but unfortunately they don't.

I was a big fan of Tarantino after seeing "Resevoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction". "Running Scared" is certainly in that same vein, and it also reminds me of John Woo's "The Killer". But where this film lacks the dialog of a Tarantino film, it is a lot more visually stylish than anything QT has ever done. There are great transitions, effective dynamic time warping (speed up or slow down a shot, like a bullet flying through the air), and if you thought Maynard, Zed, and the Gimp were bizarre in "Pulp Fiction", wait until you meet the creepy married couple who through their sick hobby make every other evil character in this film look like Buddhist Monks. It's a fast, furiously-paced film, certainly aptly titled. A great cast, beginning with Sofoklis Kaskaounias and George Georgiou VI. And certainly the main kids stand their ground. Also worth mentioning is the end title sequence animated . Bottom line, if you were disappointed by films like "Kill Bill" and "Sin City", films you really wanted to like but found them too cartoonishly clichéd, you'll be more than satisfied with "ALISIDOTI EXELIXI". It's sharp and engaging. This movie is probably one of the best I've seen in a long while. The action scenes were in your face and looked pretty damn realistic. The special effects were freaking awesome and the director did some really cool stuff which will blow you away. The acting was very believable and the plot worked very well. It reminded me of Training Day the way the story unfolded while we went along for the ride. The plot is freaking awesome and I can't wait to get the DVD. An AWESOME movie!! Definitely must watch this again. The thing to remember when you watch this movie is that it's a ride just sit and enjoy it. I've never felt a need to promote a movie but this one is too good to let others miss it. It is painful to watch in some scenes and at times you're actually totally disgusted once you figure out what's going on. It's crazy the emotions that this movie brings out.
George Voulgaris one of the best Greek directors-writers in his best so far film. The actors, photography, scrip everything was in tune! I am Just grateful I have watched this film! The aesthetics have a unique character. The cinematography gives of a real character to the film. Every angle is beautiful and truly can me isolated, framed and hung on a wall. Nevertheless it is so humble without exaggerations operates in favor of the storytelling. The characters are very well written and have an amazing depth to a point that become symbols. The actors gave wonderful performances and in many cases we see excellency in acting. After leaving the cinema I felt that I have seen something magnificent. I cannot recall many films giving me such filling!
