Plot: Bulcsú and his gang of 4 roam the metro. They hang out in the train stations and jump on metros to check people's tickets. There's a serial killer on the loose though, who loves to push people on the tracks when the trains arrive. Everybody is on the lookout, but it's Bulcsú who comes closest to tracking him down.

Antal's first feature film is a gritty thriller in the Hungarian metro. It's still his best film to date, as he would go on to chase more commercial projects in the wake of the success of this one, but I will say that I wasn't quite as impressed with Control the second time around. It's still an interesting film, just not quite as outstanding as I remembered it to be.
It lacks either a bit of polish, or some extra grit to make a more lasting impact. The soundtrack is nice, the characters are interesting and the cinematography is proper (with some very cool scenes near the end), it's just that the pacing is a little off, especially during the first half of the film. Still, if you like something unique, this is an easy recommend.
