Supravietuitorul (2008)
very disappointing
This movie is the perfect example that you have to know when to stop and when to retire. Sergiu Nicolaescu should have stopped before this movie! The reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1, is simply for old times' sake, in memory of some good actors that appear in this movie, and in the memory of their good days. Personally, I found every actor's interpretation disappointing and very childish, not to say almost unprofessional. According to Sergiu Nicolaescu the movie was made in about 30 something days! No surprise! Even Jean Constantin (as Limba), is not what he once was, he barely plays his role and he clearly lost his zest. Very depressing to see that. George Mihaita's interpretation is absolutely ridiculous and so fake is almost hard to watch! Sergiu Nicolaescu is trying unsuccessfully to revive Moldovan's memory, but there is nothing in there. The dialogue of the whole movie is ridiculous, painful to watch, with empty words. I like more that others Vladimir Gaitan's interpretation, but in the whole context, it was not that hard to be above everybody in this movie. Ileana Lazariuc was exactly what she is and did what she can do: a simple parade of a body and show some breasts. She played very fake her role, with no talent at all! These girls should REALLY know when not to appear on screen! Talent cannot be substituted by a body, even naked for few seconds! How low is that! Just showing a relatively nice face and/or body, cannot replace the complete lack of talent! When will they ever get that concept?! Loredana Groza's presence in this movie was not only useless and not needed, but it became very annoying after very short time! Endless minutes after minutes of singing that just tried to fill the movie, besides the fact that her interpretation of the songs was pretty bad. You could easily sense that she tried to be or to incarnate a "diva", but it had that air of a bar singer nicely dressed at a corner street joint. Very very painful to watch. Not to mention the almost laughable "luck" of the Commissar Moldovan! I mean come on! Give some sense of reality to the movie! How real is that someone plays reverse Russian roulette until shooting with 5 bullets out of six and not get killed! I had to fast forward so many times in this movie, just to skip the boredom in between very few interesting scenes. I always appreciated Sergiu Nicolaescu's movies in the past, in particular the historic ones, which are excellent, but if you didn't see this movie yet and you have some respect for Nicolaescu, do not watch it! Keep in your memory the director and actor you knew and you loved before, don't ruin his image with this movie. It is so sad to see all these big names of the screen going down the drain with such a poorly made movie, from every point of view: interpretation, direction, scenario, action etc. Too bad...
