15 Minutes

A flick on the media.

So 2 russian guys (obviously the bad ppl... stereotypes...) come to New York to make a living there by collecting some money, but instead they go on a killing spree and film the whole thing becuse they are both mentally ill...
A lot of stereotypes in this movie. Eastern Europen people are always bad and so on and so on. If we put the story aside we get the meaning of this movie, that America is the land of opportunities and there are a lot of stupid things in american law and also how one can use the media as a weapon. This is good, but the rest is just not like how it would be in real life.
A huge plus for me is that Kata Dobo starred in the film. All she got was 1 line. Why does this mean anything to me? Becuse she is considered to be a famous actress here in Hungary and she went to the USA to become an actress in the early 2000s.. This is pretty much where she got there with her dreams. It's really funny if you get the message of the movie :)
