Knockin' on Heaven's Door

Two young men, Martin and Rudi, both suffering from terminal cancer, get to know each other in a hospital room. They drown their desperation in tequila and decide to take one last trip to the sea. Drunk and still in pajamas they steal the first fancy car they find, a 60's Mercedes convertible. The car happens to belong to a bunch of gangsters, which immediately start to chase it, since it contains more than the pistol Martin finds in the glove box.

Reviews:

  • Emery McClure
    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.
    Rating: 2

  • Ariella May
    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.

  • Everest Cannon
    A touching and heartfelt movie. The performances felt genuine, and the story was beautiful.

  • Ulises Wells
    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

  • Luna Wall
    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.
