Not neccessarily bad, but the Storyline is extremely shocking and definitely not for everyone. (0 more)

Milos is a successful Porn Star who is now retired with a small Family of a Wife and little Boy. As with any Family, they have everyday expenses that are soon racking up and eating into what little savings they have left. In need of cash, Milos meets up with an old friend and Co-Worker, who tells him about a new Director in the Industry who wants to work with Milos. Milos of course seizes this opportunity, and goes to meet with the Director in question, Vukmir.
Vukmir, it turns out, is eccentric to say the least, and offers Milos an amount that would set his Family up financially for the rest of their lives... on the condition that Milos comes, has sex with whomever (or whatever) and then leaves. Milos signs, thinking "how bad can it be?!"... yeah, BAD idea. His first job with Vukmir turns out to be in an abandoned Orphanage, recieving Oral Sex from a Woman, whilst he is forced to watch a young girl eating a Lolly on multiple screens. Distressed and wierded out by his first job, Milos confronts Vukmir about what type of Movies he's actually doing... to which Vukmir shows him an abhorrent "Movie" that leaves Milos understandably sick to his stomach, and extremely distressed that he has entered into work with this type of person. Milos decides to try and leave the business again, disgusted by what he's seen, but Vukmir hasn't finished with Milos, or his Family, yet. And what he has in mind for Milos to do next is going to possibly destroy Milos and his Family forever...
I'd just like to make a point before I go on that A Serbian Film is a Drama, and is not intended to be a Horror at all. It's regularly dumped into the Horror genre, and there are definitely some scenes us Horror fans can appreciate, but I believe this Movie really is a Drama and should be watched as such. I personally liked Milos and his little Family, and felt incredibly saddened that this was happening to them. The end made me ugly cry, it's an extremely tragic Movie.
Ignore all the hype around ASF, and just watch it for the tense, shocking, heartbreaking Drama that is truly is. The scenes that are horrible are put across as such, and are put across to be the vile and cruel situations that they are (there's a lot of hype around these scenes... normally from people who've never even seen the Movie) and the plot speaks volumes about the politics in Serbia, how the poor are treated and what lengths people will go to to provide for themselves and/or their families. You've been warned, but give it a watch. It's the Drama to end all Dramas.

A Good Follow Up
With Season One being such a hit I was worried about whether or not the second season would be able to keep up. Although the storyline and continued family drama met all of my expectations I was sad to find that the music didn't hold up. Although it isn't terrible it was clear that the music targeted a more mainstream audience woth continued pop hits and only a few really good songs scattered throughout. Seeing as the whole show centers around music I was expecting more. However, I look forward to what season three will hold as the show itself contained a wonderful storyline that I look forward to seeing develop further.

Action scenes were amazing. CGI was so believable, almost forgot you weren't there. (0 more)
Not in 3D. Would have been epic in 3D (0 more)
Again, The Rock brought it home...
Love any movies with a strong Male lead as long as they also have a strong female that makes them remember they have a soft side too. Seeing the lengths a father and husband would go to save his family despite any limitations was wonderful. Just enough action/drama ratio so ladies will enjoy and men will not get bored.
