Till the very end I was hoping for a miracle. The miracle of me starting to like the protagonist (Hynek Čermák), nicknamed “Vandam” (after Jean-Claude Van Damme). Nope. Never happened. I might sympathise with the cause — to save the pub where the local lumpenproletariat spends all their time, how noble of him — but it’s really difficult to like such an utterly obnoxious thug. Lucka (Kateřina Janečková), the owner of said pub and Vandam’s romantic interest, is probably the only likeable character in the whole movie. To be fair, the film has enough black humour and violence to keep you interested for 90 minutes, after which you’ll probably want to forget it as soon as possible.
