Don't stand too close to the edge! October 3, 2005

A dark look at the Budapest Underground based around a group of ticket inspectors. The script and acting is superb but it is the direction, sound and camera work that stands out for me. The film captures the extremes of character that can be found in this interesting city and does make you wonder about standing on the edge of the platform at night. Rather than relying of blood and guts it plays well on the imagination. It also mixes very well comedy and fear so you are never quite sure what will happen next. The Hungarian version of the film comes with a introduction that the characters bear nor resemblance to the hard working staff of the Budapest Underground. However the inspectors in Budapest do go around looking much like those in the film and suddenly whip their arm bands. I have met one pair who were a couple of middle aged ladies with their shopping and another pair that looked like they would have no trouble with Mike Tyson. In this film fiction is only a little stranger than fact. It is my all time top ten and it is well worth watching a few times.
 "Goulashly Atmospheric Thriller" September 29, 2006

Highly original thriller set in the Budapest Underground centres on roving teams of ticket inspectors as they spend their days "chasing non-payers",dealing with other problems such as a resident serial killer and trying to find meaning in their existance when as one character puts it "everyone hates us". Heady mix of suspense, romance, horror and comedy filtered through really good characters with a pulsing soundtrack to boot. The U.k Film Industry came up with Creep, Hungary gives us Kontroll.Spot the difference.
Finest film I've ever seen. July 14, 2007

I'm a conoisseur of film, I watch films at the cinema every week, I own about 800 DVDs and I have pretty much cleared out the international film section of HMV. My tastes range from The Hulk to Last Year in Marienbad. This film is the greatest film I've ever seen. Bar none. It's incredible, and the more you watch it, the more it does for you - seruiously, if you have any ounce of love for the aesthetic, if you're 3 or 93, you need this film in your collection.
Excellent debut December 31, 2007
Barton Keyes (England)
Some laugh-out-loud situations and pithy one liners complement nicely the underlying thriller element -- and if the story line lacks a little originality the excellent acting makes up for it. It reminded me a lot of Forman's "The Fireman's Ball' In some of the earlier episodes of the story.
