Aditya Rao just saw this powerful & intense beligan crime drama- The BullHead...heart breaking story about a man (played excellently by Matthias Schoenaerts) who has to deal with the memories of a traumatic incident of his past for the rest of his life ..very intense & a moving performance...one can imagine his plight and feel for him. this film is brilliant and unforgettable.

Red_Identity I did expect better. Now, I haven't seen The Drop, but all of the hype for it certainly made me aware of the director and so I decided to give this a go. I think Matthias Schoenarts is fantastic, he holds a lot of intensity and he does so much in the quiet role, with not much in terms of dialogue but really gets deeper into his psychology, really making his internal feelings and thoughts. That's mighty high praise, and I think that he does so much more than is needed, since I do find the script to be the biggest problem. It's decent enough, but there's not much meat in it. The visual style here is evident and it's pretty effective though, making for a slick watch.

dekspam A great film to watch if you're used to watch films accepting the director's choices and criticizing only their effectiveness.Yes, the almost two and a half hours are filled with a lot of story and back-story that are at times difficult to follow; yes, some of the symbolism seems to have been thrown in just for the sake of it, and you'll have to wait for the very last scene for it to pay off; yes, a beef hormones mafia may sound an unappealing (even ridiculous? Well, think again…) topic to someone; yes, inevitably there are some misses among the hits.But this is all about losing something (your innocence, your future, your self…) and trying (or not) to regain it: in fact, the advantage of having such a wide amount of narrative is that you can make sense of the movie from different (and equally valid) points of view.Give it a try. In its sophistication, Rundskop has what it takes to appeal any kind of viewer, as long as he is willing to get hooked.

Greekguy This is a particularly rare beast - a great story married to a fantastic performance, and when you think that neither the lead actor nor the director had never carried out anything so large before, the film becomes even more amazing. Schoenaerts gives a monumental performance, deserving of attention, awards and praise. But the film itself is equal to the actor's contribution - at its core sits a magnificent metaphor that is slowly but movingly presented to the viewer. The story, of a Belgian cattle farmer involved in dodgy dealings, is absolutely gripping, but it's the back story that we're here for, and that's simply dumbfounding.This is what good film does - it gives you a look at something new and provocative, but it gives you a clear enough angle from which to view it so that what you see is not only understandable, it is inevitable. Thus, you are in turn surprised, engaged and then enlightened. Oh, and by the way, you're fully entertained the entire time as well, provided you enjoy thinking.
