While being extremely well made, especially for a dutch movie, the Green Butchers lacks humor. However, it is a well made and worthwhile film, but with nothing special to offer. The acting is good, the plot is good, very reminiscent of Delicatessen, but without the cinematography, setting, or heart. It has some drug use and cursing so it is not a kids film, and the topic is dark enough so that I would advise people easily turned off by gore to avoid the Green Butchers. However, it was a treat to watch, not many quality Dutch films are available, but lacked the dark humor necessary to really keep this film completely afloat. A nice attempt, and with its bright spots, but I could put myself into this movie, and ended up observing it and not truly watching it.
