I haven't seen the movie but it looks like TAKEN from the kidnapped girl's perspective! I don't know if an ass-kicking dude saves her at the end of the movie though!

Here's the English-subtitled trailer (France's Dominique Pinon shows up in this film!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfmemEkSR7k

Here's the imdb page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479257/

toddly, did you get around to picking this one up? I'm going to purchase the Finnish horror film SAUNA from artpop, and I was maybe thinking of going for something else too so that SAUNA wouldn't be lonely in transit. I'm wondering if I should go for this or maybe that AKUMULATOR 1 movie instead.

I ordered this but I haven't gotten it yet. maybe if you want to wait a bit I could let you know what my quick impression of the discs are as I won't have time to watch it. I picked it up from merlin.pl much cheaper I'm guessing.

Hey BuddhaWake, yeah that'd be great if you (and/or toddly, or anyone else) can share your thoughts on it sometime. No hurry as it is not high priority for me, and I suppose I have some alternative choices lined up at artpop anyway. I've taken note of merlin.pl and will consider them if I do get around to picking this one up.

Well the big dvd at artpopdvd.com is TRICKS!!!! Poland's Amelie/Kusturica-type film! I just ordered that from them, and I'm so psyched to see it! and I would also get AKUMULATOR 1, since it's a pretty interesting flick..

I didn't order the Justine movie. I usually don't buy thrillers or surprise ending-type films (The Sixth Sense, Silence of the Lambs) on dvd, because they just ain't that great the second time around. The only thrillers that I have in my collection i think are Fight Club and Seven...I heard that SAUNA is a pretty good horror film, but that's another genre I don't buy on dvd. I just love seeing horror in the theater...

And the trailer shows hot chicks in short skirts...a promising start for sure!

I accept that it might be a bit apples and oranges to compare the two, but now having seen both - if I had to watch one a second time - YOUR NAME IS JUSTINE would be the easy selection for me. TAKEN was passable enough in providing a fix for the action junkie in me, but otherwise YOUR NAME IS JUSTINE is a much better film across the board. Too bad YOUR NAME IS JUSTINE hasn't gotten the exposure it deserves.

toddly for bringing this film to my attention!
