This is a truly awful film. There is an interesting idea at the heart of it and it could have been moody and atmospheric, but it's as cheesy and out of place as its dreadful Europop theme song at the end.
The acting is abysmal, made worse by the dubbing. The lead did his own dubbing for this so it can be assumed that this was the logic behind having every character played with heavy Dutch accents. Some well into parody level thickness. Dialogue in dubbed films often seems stilted or awkward due to poor translation and there's definitely a touch of that here with some oddly poor translations. The biggest problem is not only the dubbing but the painfully amateurish performances turned in by just about everyone in this. It's obvious few of them ever took any training in acting for camera.
Then add in the out of place Carry On style humour awkwardly shoe-horned in, the sped up chase scene elements and the increasingly Roger Moore-era Bond movie stunts all totally misplaced in a serious crime thriller. Yes, they actually do the speedboats jumping from the water to slide through a party then back into the water further along.
Still not daft enough? Make the killer almost as indestructible as Deadpool (make him look like Deadpool for good measure), give him super strength, and a back story better suited to a comic adaptation that seems to be an attempt to give the killer some pathos and the last shreds of dignity fall away from this inept waste of celluloid.
Truly something you'd have to flush repeatedly to dispose of.
