I wish I could say, "Good movie, better than expected!" Sadly this is not the case. The story in principle had potential. I mean Saint Nicolas going bad, I like it! From the beginning the atmosphere was just like the other films of Dick Maas. It is a unique signature and so it had a positive start. His previous films Amsterdamned, Flodder and de lift were okay at best. You'd expect Dick Maas to have matured and evolved in such a way, that he would be able to put a movie together that is more convincing. The dialogs are poor and unreal, the screen play is unprofessional. The camera angles are childish at times and the acting well
high school musical style. It comes to show that Dutch movie makers can only make old school drama, war and chick flicks (Karakter, Zwartboek, komt een vrouw bij de doctor for instance).
