Kontroll (2003)

Just as the emotions and motives that drive human passion surge largely below the surface of our faces and our consciousness, so too the heart-quickening action of Kontroll (2003) courses through the vast and intricate subway system beneath Budapest. Romance and crime are arterial partners in this closed environment of high-speed transients and the professionals who transport them. Timing is everything. Life-or-death connections are made at flash-point intersections. The difference between a rapturous coming together and a disastrous collision passes in the flash of an eye. The murderer, the hero, the unearthly beauty all ride on the same looped circuit. Which one will end up going nowhere first?
