    The review

    Supravietuitorul is the kind of movie that shouldn't have been done but gets done after all simply because the main reason is "money",than the second reason :the fans.Some people would say ,we,the Romanians,make the most authentic movies around...bull...Authentic movies are done everywhere,it is the matter of the acting to make it so,and this one,was poorly acted.I am a huge fan of the bygone era of old fashion movies,but this one ,done in 2008 shouldn't have been out of sync with the voice never ever.I can't cope with that,it is simply annoying.There are actors that are good for Drama,and there are actors that are good for something else...the ones that are good for something else...again shouldn't have been in the movie.Unfortunately (for us) the cast was done not by the way people play...but by the way they used to...

    Enjoy it as it is,don't expect to be more than a 5-6 ...

    WOW, the movie that makes old romanian jokes come true ...

    There was an old joke about "Sergiu Nicolaescu movies" - "director Sergiu Nicolaescu, producer Sergiu Nicolaescu, lead actor Sergiu Nicolaescu, and with Colea Rautu playing Sergiu Nicolaescu" - it is now true!!! (Petr Falc instead of Colea Rautu but that does not really matter).

    The movie is so awful that it could compete for the title of the worst romanian movie of the last 10-20 years - and the 10-15 seconds of nudity with Ileana Lazariuc can not save it no matter how gorgeous she might be ... (and honestly speaking she is).

    The plot is non-existent, the story is totally stupid (basically in that foreign town you find like 80% of the population being of romanian origin, and almost all of them people that the hero knew from 30+ years ago - not to mention that the romanian gangsters kind of 'make the law' in that large luxury town).

    The movie is also a huge 'family mess' - the singer was pushed for her relations with the director and not to be outdone we find two Mihaita so it was probably a failure before even starting to film on it ...

    Who let this script out? Who! Who! Who!

    If it wasn't for Ileana Lazariuc, Romanian version of Angelina Jolie, I would give this movie one single shiny star.

    The movie tells the incredible story of an extreme life and death Russian roulette game in which 'The commissioner of police' can "dodge" bullets.

    Just let it sink for a minute: a guy who dodges bullets in a game of Russian roulette, and he's the best at it, for 30 years.

    This guy will simply won't die and Statistics don't stand a chance with him. I rest my case.

    For your sake, don't watch this movie.

    A different syle of Moldovan

    I do not agree with people saying this is a bad movie. It's true you see some anachronisms, but Nicolaescu isn't Ridley Scott, he couldn't just empty the streets of Prague, it isn't easy nowdays, without Ceausescu to support him :-))). It's true this is not like the old Comissar Moldovan series, but it is not intended to be like the old ones. People who expect this to be like the classic, are generally deceived. It is wrong to expect this as this is not the purpouse of the movie. This is more an art movie than an action one. It tells some stories using flashbacks and insists on the characters rather than the action. This is what I like the most. This movie bring together the old actors and the new ones, the only one who doesn't fit in this movie is Loredana. I can't believe she wastes 15 minutes of this movie. Whatever, ignore her ... and you'll do just fine. Most of all I like the beginning and end of the movie, specific to Nicolaescu's style. I'm a person who prefers to see the good side of things so I gave a 8/10 mark.

    best involuntary comedy of Romanian cinema

    by gosh, i never saw anything more ridiculous! the poor man is a goner... gone are the times of his Miclovan-Moldovan glory! cant he see he has no grasp of his job anymore? this movies is at the level of a kiddies game, who dress up in mom and dad's clothes and make-believe they are grown-ups! and when they have no means, they say: "hey lets just say that we were doing it!" that hilarious attempt to disguise Bucharest center into a western city! the ludicrous Russian roulette, and the anti-riot squad that comes in the end! :))) its no wonder the audiences were curious to see this monstrous piece of freakish idiocy - as the commenter Gheorghe Popescu, aka Pashpix, namely Adrian Epure, says. This stuff is as attractive as a two-heads calf in the funfair. Comical in a sadly demented way...
