- Synopsis:
- What begins as a fishing trip with the boys quickly spirals out of control when they witness a mob hit in the forest, and that's just the beginning of this insane, violent, hilarious misadventure from Kazakhstan. It begins with a couple quarrelling about baby names, and it ends in gory revenge and slapstick splatter in a seemingly indestructible, one-eyed psychopath's cabin in the woods. In between was supposed to be a calming fishing trip for three old friends to unwind in the wilds. If only they hadn't witnessed a brutal murder by local mobsters. By the end, what is certain is they will all learn about life's priorities.

Awful amateur nonsense - Sweetie, You Won't Believe It review by RD
Quite possibly the worst film I've ever watched, all the way through as well, as it was so bad I had to make sure it didn't suddenly recover.
It starts with the lead character, Das suffering from his nagging wife, and deciding to go on a fishing trip with his two mates. None have ever fished, it's just an opportunity to get away, have some beers and relax.
On their travels they meet some very odd characters, and come across a car full of violent thugs. Another character, with only one eye and a disfigured face brutally kills one of the thugs. The thugs think it was our three fishing mates and pursue them for the rest of the film. The one-eyed killer appears regularly and brutally kills the thugs one at a time.
The dialogue (translated from Kazakh) never reaches the heights of really meaning anything, and often appears and disappears in the subtitles before you can read it.
All acting is dreadfully overdone and full of the characters shouting at each other, whether in fun or terror.
The many gory scenes are short and unpleasant, I reckon they would rate as two on a one to ten scale where Mr Tarantino would rate as ten for cinema realism and validity to the plot.
Plot? Ha! This film needs an x-ray to see if there are any signs of one.
It really is very hammy, empty and over-acted. A waste of viewing time when you could be better employed watching some paint dry.

Wish I had read RD's review before hiring this drivel. Unlike RD I gave up after 15 mins but used the FF button to check if any improvements..there were none.

Sit back and go with the flow - Sweetie, You Won't Believe It review by AL
Comedy at it's blackest. The characters and the scenarios are all extreme and hamming it up for entertainment. It's not for the faint hearted, but the horror scenes are cut so sharp you are left wondering if you really just saw it. This is not social realism, it's tongue in cheek fun.
