    One of the best Romanian Comedies

    So, I'm a Romanian, i've seen Dima's previous movies and i was expecting a 4-5 Rating "canned or microawve movie" .

    I was very very surprised! This movie is in the next league, when all the ones before were in the 3rd divisions. About the movie: 1. This movie is full of Romanian stereotypes, if you are not familiar with east european, balkan ( south american :)))) ) humor and "culture" it may be hard to understansd.

    2. This movie integrates comedy motives from Romania like "Garcea" a well known comedy figure of the 1990-2010 in Romania, as well as real life corruption cases like the case of Mario Iorgulescu ( the "mommy boy is based of a real life boy of an influential Romanian ( Gino Iorgulescu ) that killed people while high on drugs, then fled the country to avoid prosecution ) .

    3. Had to say it but the Tate Brothers would "appreciate" and laugh at this movie.

    4. Directing acting 8-9/10 . I did not expect but i really enjoyed this movie.

    Sad ending ... since this movie came out, some rich kid, just like the one is this movie, ran over and killed some innocent people while high on drugs, after being stoped over by local police *(see the case of Vald Pascu accident ) .

    Happy ending. I don't know how but somehow, someway we Romanians find a way to laugh at the tragedy of life while "indirectly" participating in it.

    Really bad

    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.

    Absolutely terrible film

    (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.

    Very bad

    I give two stars just to raise the other votes. Also for Antonia she did her best, respect, but someone tell dima he needs to stop trying bro... it's enough... i personally can't take it anymore.

    And another question that I have for myself, is why you don't use real actors? Real young talented actors? From schools, stop using public" figures as actors, they can't deliver acting... they have 0 connection with the cameras also with the jokes they deliver.

    Good acting from ms geanina, altex and the lesby cop, also for aurel... he tried, idk if he's actor or not but he clearly tried. Dima is so forced , you can't watch it anymore, someone stop this guy....

    Absolutely terrible

    Just like a previous user stated, i never reviewed a film in my life on IMDB, but this one is so bad that i had to specifically create an account to do it.

    Everything about it was terrible, i barely laughed at a few scenes, and most of the times I grimaced in disgust. The subject was good, but barely truly touched - the corruption and its effects. Instead, lots of swearing and bad acting, scenes that makes you facepalmed harder than Will smith slapped Chris Rock.

    Some horribly worng actor picks like Jimmy (WTF was he even supposed to do), Garcea (the guy came with some 20yo jokes and faces) made the movie feel like a total fiasco.

    I am so so so so sorry i wasted nearly 20$ to see it, i hoped it will be half the value of Teambuilding, but proved to be less than a dime worth.

    TOTALLY NOT RECCOMENDED.
