Minor spoiler alert! I'm still trying to figure out how to rate this movie. I just watched it last night (07/15/2017), but I don't know what to think of it. The synopsis asks if Nikander can break his losing streak. Well, if he did the right thing, that which his heart advised him to do, then his losing streak was broken. However, did he do it or not? I couldn't tell. His intentions were pure, but the full evidence/proof of his action was not known. Interesting to say the least. How does one know if he returned what was in the box with the box he did return? You'll have to watch to see for yourself. What was this movie about? A loser? Whose watching it? The loser in all of us?
This movie has a high rating, but probably because of it's simplicity and it's depiction of every day characters, which is played out very well considering the 80's filming decade with the popularity of cigarettes, etc. To me, the movie was good, not great! I'll give it a decent rating because of the English subtitles and the ease of reading them, while trying to watch the movie. At the very least, I could have my television volume down low and read what they were saying, all the while trying to figure out why the words go with the pictures. I'm into foreign films as well, so I appreciate the opportunities to watch some of them.
