I'd been wanting to see this film for years but it was a real struggle to find it with English subtitles. At long last I've been able to watch it and it was worth the wait! Storyline wise, the movie is reminiscent of The Warriors, insofar as it's about a gang stranded in enemy territory and the lengths they must go to to survive.
As noted, it's a prequel to the solid, if miserable, Metastaze but the tone this time is more light hearted. Rene Bitorajac continues to be one of the most charismatic actors in Balkan cinema and once again portrays Krpa, a fierce man unafraid of violence but with a natural aura that draws everyone around him, for better or worse.
I've seen other reviews complain that it's inaccurate, but it's not to be taken as a documentary. It's a story of brotherhood, albeit a dysfunctional and uneasy one at times, demonstrating the similarities arch enemies have and what even the most vicious of men will do to protect each other.
