5.0 out of 5 stars Don't stand too close to the edge!, 3 Oct 2005
By Mr. T. G. Child (Budapest, Hungary) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A dark look at the Budapest Underground based around a group of ticket inspectors. The script and acting is superb but it is the direction, sound and camera work that stands out for me. The film captures the extremes of character that can be found in this interesting city and does make you wonder about standing on the edge of the platform at night. Rather than relying of blood and guts it plays well on the imagination. It also mixes very well comedy and fear so you are never quite sure what will happen next. The Hungarian version of the film comes with a introduction that the characters bear nor resemblance to the hard working staff of the Budapest Underground. However the inspectors in Budapest do go around looking much like those in the film and suddenly whip their arm bands. I have met one pair who were a couple of middle aged ladies with their shopping and another pair that looked like they would have no trouble with Mike Tyson. In this film fiction is only a little stranger than fact. It is my all time top ten and it is well worth watching a few times.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Goulashly Atmospheric Thriller", 29 Sep 2006
By Mark Pearce "''Chinatown''" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Highly original thriller set in the Budapest Underground centres on roving teams of ticket inspectors as they spend their days "chasing non-payers",dealing with other problems such as a resident serial killer and trying to find meaning in their existance when as one character puts it "everyone hates us". Heady mix of suspense, romance, horror and comedy filtered through really good characters with a pulsing soundtrack to boot. The U.k Film Industry came up with Creep, Hungary gives us Kontroll.Spot the difference.
