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:

  • Amelia Phelps
    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.
    Rating: 3.5

  • Rene Navarro
    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
    Rating: 1.5

  • Frances Nash
    An intense thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Definitely worth a watch.

    An emotional rollercoaster. The soundtrack was beautiful and really added to the experience.
    Rating: 4.5

  • Cohen Richard
    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.
