Igor Gordić was an Olympic champion in shooting, but now he is a junky without money and in debts to mafia. Saša is his younger brother and he is getting ready for the next World Championship. Since he's not getting enough terms to practice indoors, he has decided to go out and find himself a target to practice on.

Some things I liked some I did not.
There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The entire cast, particularly, Vuk Kostic gave great performances that were both realistic and plausible. Most of the gangsters roles were pretty one dimensional; would have been nice to see other sides of the bullies.Most of the reviews I had read about the film centre on whether or not it was right/ wrong for Sasa to turn chivalrous vigilante and defend his brother. his seems more in line with the culture in the Balkans where defense of honour and family are more important there than in many other parts of western Europe and the US.Throughout most of the film I despised Igor for putting his brother through the whole experience and it was only at the end when Igor opens up to Sasa, about his experiences during the war that I begin to feel for him and understand his inability to fight back.The choice of New Belgrade as the location was great, told a visual story about life in a part of Belgrade and could have been any concrete social housing complex in any European capital.Definitely a film worth seeing; great acting, great plot and real drama.
I really like East-European movies a lot (perhaps because they are so realistic) but this Yugoslavian version of "Trainspotting" was one of the greatest surprises I saw this month. It's all about two brothers, one is an Olympic champion in shooting and the other is a junk. It's not so difficult to guess the champ will soon defend his brother using his skills in shooting but this movie is so fantastic made (the dialogues are great and the acting...well you have your typical Russian maffiaguys) that it is a wonderful movie that is like some videoclip...bloody fast but great to be part of the ride!
I've seen this movie at its premiere in my town. It's a movie about two brothers, both talented and interesting in sport shooting. The older one - Igor is an ex world champion, but during the war in 1992 he exchanged his air rifle with a sniper and became a drug addict. His little brother - Sasa is a 19-year-old who can't stand watching his brother being humiliated and tortured by local mafiosos and drug dealers and he himself takes a sniper. The movie is really a story that shows strong emotions, such as love and hate. The emotions strong enough to make a child become a murderer. There were a few things that aren't so true. For example, shooting clubs in Belgrade, Yugoslavia aren't private property, and cannot be sold just like that. Especially the Shooting Club "Milicionar-Krcun", the one Sasa shoots for. Also, Sasa looks like a real champ when he's holding his rifle, but look at him when he's targeting. His rifle is moving enough to miss the whole target. This may sound ridiculous, but in the distance of 10m even a move of half a milimeter means a nine on the target. The 1mm could even be an eight. Off course these things aren't important at all and I'm sure that no one will even notice them. On a scale from 1 to 10, I give this movie a 9.
Sasa Gordic is one of the best shooters there is, but he has a few problems. He has a brother who is a junkie, and a former shooting champion, a girlfriend to which he just can't talk with, and a problem with the new owner of the shooting range, who is a mafioso, and who doesn't care for his needs. Troubled with all that, he snaps, and starts killing everybody who seems to be "the problem".Vuk Kostic (Sasa Gordic) is a bright young man with a visible talent for acting, which has not yet developed completely, but his future as an actor is bound to be at least fair, if not better.Srdjan Todorovic (Igor Gordic) is a well-known member of the serbian actors elite, who didn't miss the opportunity to, once again prove that he is a fine actor who can "do" almost anything. Here, he is a junkie, who cannot live with himself, attempts suicide, and succedes in the end of the film.This is a very good film, with a plenty action scenes of Sasa killing his adversaries, and a good story of a youth that almost got spent. In one word: GOOD.
