Now, that's something new, a Kazakhstan movie. It's good. Entertaining, gory, funny, naive. It doesn't take itself too serious. This is a fun ride. Characters are likeable and the viewer sympathizes with them. It's not a horror neither a thriller movie, you won't feel scared neither tense. This is a dark comedy but not too dark, i mean, the goal here is to make the audience laugh. More like a farce, far-fetched situations, nothing seems realistic. It reminded me some late 90's, early 00's comedy crime movies. Younger people will appreciate it more.

To sum up, this is a flawed and entertaining movie. Not a MUST WATCH for sure, but definitely enjoyable if you are in a mood for a movie like this.

Tired of dealing with his pregnant wife, a man decides to leave on a sudden fishing trip with his friends but a series of misunderstandings and missteps cause them to go on the run from a group of small-time criminals for something they didn't do and must find a way to stay alive and get home safely.

There was quite a lot to like with this one. One of the more engaging and enjoyable features of this one is the likable and enjoyable setup that gets this one going. Getting to see how wound-up and frustrated he is at the constant nagging and pressure put upon him by his wife over everything dealing with the upcoming pregnancy and the various intrusions on his life that the need to get out and go on the trip with his friends seems entirely logical and worthwhile. This is added onto the hilarious comedy featured here with the friends being out of their element and just being absolutely ill-equipped to be in the environment with their antics and quips that carry on throughout the rest of the film for a lot to like overall. When the trip brings them into contact with the criminal gang taking their hostage into the wilderness, the craziness here begins to ramp up considerably. The sheer insanity of how they come together, with the car accident involving discarding urine that hits their car accidentally and bringing the criminals to follow them to seek revenge, having the group bear witness to the criminals accidentally kill their hostage and forcing them to chase each other throughout the area creates a series of hilarious misunderstandings about how dangerous the friends are with the second psychopath hunting down the criminals for killing his pet. The supernatural-like ability the killer has appearing in the nick of time and doling out justice to those he comes across are incredibly fun and enjoyable with the graphic gore during these kills. As well as the fun finale that goes way more over-the-top with its action and gore and some crazy ideas, there's a lot to like here for the films' positive points. There are not too many flaws at all, but one aspect to this one does stand out quite heavily. The main factor here that doesn't make sense is the relationship between the friends who are absolutely not portrayed to be people who know each other at all. The idea is supposed to be that they rag on each other and poke fun but there's more of a mean-spirited jab at each other that doesn't feel friendly at all. As well, the whole conversation about ignoring the wife in labor in order to keep going on their trip is entirely unrealistic for friends to do on a trip like this which just continues the feeling that they're not really a group that's hung out together, which is thankfully repealed mightily at the end with how they work to save each other. Still, there's enough here to hold this back.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

I watched this on a whim one night because I really liked the art-style used for the films page on Amazon. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I ended up liking this movie, and I'll go as far as saying that it might be one of my favorite films of 2022.

What starts off as a comedy, soon has elements of horror, suspense, drama, and martial arts, and it's an amalgam of genres I never knew I needed until I watched the movie. Almost the entire cast is male, which is a huge plus for me, but each of the actors were so likable in their own ways, you didn't really know who to root for, you just end up hoping the movie showcases each one enough.

If you like buddy/friendship movies, comedies, excessive and graphic violence/gore, and a dash of drama and martial arts, I couldn't recommend this more. It sounds like a weird mix, but trust me, it REALLY works. One of my favorite movies of 2022. You wont be disappointed.

I had a ton of fun watching this. The three leads had great chemistry and although the humor may be juvenile at times, I still laughed at this movie multiple times.

I didn't even knew the origin of this movie watched with subtitles from india later on imdb came to know its kazak movie so this will be my first, i never knew they make movies. This was a good entertainer not expected. The story was new interesting not a second it felt dull. From beginning to end it succeed in holding your interest. Big surprise was the bollywood song one of the popular song of 80's don't know how they got it. The actors did good job lots of one liner comic punch line . This kind of movie coming from a place like kazak hardly known for cinema is appreciated. I recommend it to all.
