The Price of Power

After watching the trailer I was left with the impression that I'm about to watch a cash-grab movie with celebrity (but amateur) actors just to draw in an audience.

It only went downhill from there. The editing made me furious, as the sound quality was horrible and many of the actor's lines seem improvised and not following any of the so called plot.

Another thing was the in-your-face product placements for a shopping mall, a luxury sports car brand and vaping products. Did I pay a cinema ticket to watch ads? I'd like my money back, please and I'll never watch another movie from this director or production company ever again.

I feel like I watched a workprint, pre-edited version of the movie, but after reading some other viewer's impressions, that'a all we'll ever have for this movie.

I need to smoke a cigarette after this one.

A very good movie with a strong ending. The film is entirely political which shows the reality. Extremely strong game, especially Boris Dali and Kamen Vodenicharov. Only Diana Lyubenova was artificial at times. The movie was divided into 2 parts, it was a little hard to follow at first because of the many characters, but from a moment there everything became clear and it was very dynamic. It has a very clear and strong message to the audience. I expected it to be more action, but it seems like the drama was in the foreground. I really liked the messages about revenge and about choice. A very strong film.

Actions have their consequences, creating new worlds, And they are all different. Women, alcohol and expensive clothes - one world. They have been unknown to us until now, but they have always existed, haven't they? Actually, I'm sure now. At some point we realize the reality of the world we are in. There is no other world. We all have to prepare a place to accommodate the tragedies that sooner or later will befall us. Did you know someone said "There is no way to walk. A way is made by walking." This poet had exchanged every word, every poem, every verse he had written for another hour with the woman he loved. What do you say is possible!? I say it's impossible. But for the latter who have understood that the last days of death take on another meaning. And now, the end is near and final curtain we have to close because others are waiting for me..!? Admirations to all cast and crew for their perfect game..!? This is a delightful film - don't miss it..!?

Even staring at the wall is more entertaining than this so called "movie". Absolute trash... I have no words to describe this "thing". Really bad acting (despite there are some good actors in the cast), pop-folk "star" Boris Dali in the main role is absolutely one of the worst things in this parody of a movie. The soundtrack... Pop-Folk music... Seriously?!! Who though this was good idea? But this isn't the worst... Dialogues, plot, cinematography, I can go all day and still can't lined up all the bad things in this cinematic peace of garbage! I hope who made this never ever do a movie again! I hope this review helps others to not waste 2 hours of their life for this cinematic abomination like I did.

The film has acting reminiscent of extras and very obvious product placement, but these are somehow the least messed-up things.

Whoever filmed and edited the movie clearly has no clue about either. They haven't heard that using a full-frame camera and keeping the aperture at f-1.4 constantly doesn't make the film look good. They haven't heard about shutter speed synchronization with the frequency of artificial lighting, hence the flickering in dark and indoor scenes. Sometimes autofocus is used, leaving shots where the focus shifts due to automation. The shots are shaky, not to emphasize anything, but because the cinematographer had no idea what they were doing.

The editing jumps from scene to scene, several times cutting people off mid-sentence. It looks like poorly edited montage at times. When showing multiple angles in one scene, the background noise changes, leading me to believe a single camera with an attached microphone was used, and the editing team is handling something for the first time. There's a lack of synchronization between audio and picture due to likely improper re-recording. Probably no sound director, added effects are either too noisy or too quiet, there's a discrepancy from scene to scene due to different settings that no one has balanced. The microphones squeak at times. I don't even want to comment on the action scenes, plot holes, etc.
