My first review
25 December 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I never write reports and this is my first one, for a reason. I've watched many movies and none of them made me write any review. There are no spoilers.

BEFORE --- watching a movie I expected an intelligent psychological drama containing humor. And that was in the beginning. What I got later was so much different from this, and it was still in a good way. What turned the film upside down was the ACTION that was added to it, but then, the REALISTIC side of the film was fading out (more about the policeman).

PLOT --- If one was watching it while not really paying attention to the plot you could say it's realistic, but it wasn't fully anymore. That was the only minus, but as this is not a documentary it doesn't matter. Moreover, the not-realistic later part of the movie had the great IDEAS. The idea of – FRIENDSHIP as itself, despite of the environment saying bad things; the idea of the LIARS, hypocrites, sanctimonious people around you who are lying to you in the face and your decision what will you do about it; the most important! the idea of the EVIL around you, people accepting it as something normal and your decision what will you do about it. I know all this could sound maybe sound too philosophical for one movie, but that what it was about, right? The psychological part of the movie was actually the whole movie itself.

END --- when Diaz felt relieved and positive again, it wasn't because he spent the time with the psychologist as one short free time they were having together and talking, but it was about him REALIZING the meaning of life. How it wasn't just about living as surviving or trying to survive, or even having a family or a work. It was about realizing the VALUE OF ONE MAN'S LIFE and the GOODNESS the human life could spread – here, by saving the policeman's life because it is worth. The psychologist realized Diaz was on the good side, being honest and FAIR, and even if he was the only good one in the police station, the psychologist decided to turn against everyone to help him.

Those ideas make the film very valued in my sense. The acting was marvelous with putting an emphasize on Diego Peretti who was the only unique character in the film. He was the only positivity in the whole film, who would tell the most serious characters in the movie not to be so serious because it's not worth anything; who was able to tell the most dangerous serial killers not to say bad words when they were threatening him; who helped a good friend – in the hypothetical fiction, Diaz could be the last good person in the world, and the question is – would we rather stay in the hypothetically whole evil world by continuing to live OR to save the last fair person who has that value? I recommend the movie to everyone.
