Sinopsis(1)
Middleton es un barrio de clase media en el que, normalmente, las noches son tranquilas y apacibles. Sin embargo, esta noche van a ocurrir una serie de acontecimientos que desembocarán en una inevitable tragedia. Jack, conduciendo borracho, atropellará a una joven con su coche; Buzzy, una dependienta de una tienda es herida tras un atraco; Frank, un padre protector, intenta hacerse pasar por culpable de un crimen que no cometió; Cherry, experta manipuladora, intenta convencer a su marido para que cometa un asesinato. Así, antes de que acabe la noche, dos adolescentes habrán muerto a causa de algo que conecta todos los sucesos anteriores. (Filmax)

Twists and turns like in Czech politics, a mangled penis and Rachel Leigh Cook's bouncing breasts. No one paid much attention to the logic, but the above, together with the endearing naivety with which this sort of story is put together, doesn't allow me to go below an average 3*. The sex scene in the graveyard is awesome.

A great adrenaline, entertaining and funny ride put together by an intelligent puzzle. Although the plot is quite simple, an incident happens that is retold through five different perspectives, but the progression is very effective and shocking, it even manages to keep you in suspense and in constant curiosity. These games with the viewer are great and I enjoy them. This much irony together is something you don’t see every day. 80%.

I don't even understand why the film didn't stick with the original title, which I think is a good one that doesn't need any translation and makes sense, but some people just like it grittier. Anyway, I liked the movie a lot. Not too long, not so convoluted that you get lost in it, well thought out and acted. Everything the way I like it. For a while I was hesitant to give it the full number of stars, but I recently saw a movie in which an unplanned collision also played a major role (actually, this is the third movie I’ve seen recently based on an accident, purely by coincidence), and given my rating of the movie in question, I'll stick with 4 stars for this one. I think it's just about right.

A bizarre bit of screenwriting that is influenced by Tarantino's famous film Pulp Fiction in terms of mixing genres, and shuffling the chronology of the story with several parallel character stories that get roughly the same amount of space in the film and are endowed with cool characteristics. Humor, as typical for Tarantino's films, is combined with violence and human suffering. There are also several crimes, dead bodies, one severed penis, and somewhat raunchier language - basically, everything that a cultured viewer nurtured by Bergman and Fellini likes. The film has a very reasonable runtime and fast pace, but it does not have as well-written dialogues as early Tarantino films, lacks black humorous lines, and the director's inexperience is noticeable in the film. Overall impression: 65%.

I missed a final point, and the film didn't even have a proper plot - we know what happened to the characters, but unfortunately we don't learn what happened to the survivors. However, the writer's (and director's) ideas are very pleasantly blackly entertaining and watchable. Three and a half.

Five people around whom several murders happen at the same time, and world wonder, even though the idea is nonsensical from the sound of it, it is executed very well and the style of telling things each time from a different point of view until the final picture of the whole event is put together results in an interesting and very unconventional film that never gets boring. The plot is entertaining, the characters aren’t annoying and the humour is good, and even though I wonder what the point of the film was, if I don't speculate further, I actually had a good time.

The time which has passed since the last time I saw this film only contributed to my good mood. Seeing all those youngsters there added to my enjoyment of it - now it was perfect. I like films in which a number of storylines intersect at one point. When there’s also black humor in quantities greater than small, I'm nothing but thrilled.
