The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

A break in goes bad and Kenny (Kevin Jassens) gets left behind and takes the rap as his girlfriend Sylvie (Veerle Baetens) and brother Dave (Jeroen Perceval, co-writer) get away. Four years later Kenny gets out of prison to find things have changed. Dave works at a car wash and Sylvie is a cocktail waitress in group. What Kenny does not know and no one will tell him, is that his former girlfriend is now the girlfriend of his brother Dave.Kenny still lives by his emotions and drags the unwilling Dave into things, as Dave has trouble drawing the line with his brother.This is a Belgian crime/drama production with English subtitles. The film utilized the slow scenes to build character and to show us how Dave and Sylvie have moved on. Kenny suspects Sylvie is seeing someone else and believes it to be her boss, someone he grew up with as a child. The ending had a twist which I didn't see coming. This is a low budget film that lacks formula writing. Kudos.Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Veerle Baetens)

This film reminds me why I used to hate Flemish films so much. The last couple of years we had some good ones thanks to Felix Van Groeningen and others. Those movies were either in West-Flemish or East-Flemish and had very likable characters and great stories. D'Ardennen on the other hand is in sucky Antwerps and is one of those stories with miserable low-life characters. Kevin Janssens (he's annoying as hell), Veerle Baetens and Jeroen Perceval play these 'Johnny and Marina' kinda types which I loathe so it's almost impossible to care for them - let alone stand them. The titular 'Ardennes' are only featured almost an hour into the flick and it only lasts 93 minutes (incl credits). I can't recommend this film at all. I was thinking it would be a cool Flemish take on the cabin horror movies maybe, but it's nothing of the sort. Just skip this crap and watch Belgica, that one was cool and fun!

Rumours were out that this was a brutal flick. Have seen it I can say that I can understand that some will have difficulty with the fight scene's. It's brutal but it never becomes gory or messy. But still this is a flick that rises above the mediocre Belgian flicks. Even as it is spoken in the Antwerp language this time it didn't bother me because the two brothers were low life so it's normal that they can't talk decent. The acting from Kevin Janssens (Kenneth) is really excellent, to say the least, all characters were perfectly type cast and all acting is high standard.People can't be changed and that's what this flick shows with a twist at the end. A must see.Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

Dave and Kenny are brothers and robbers. After a failed robbery attempt Kenny goes to prison, he kisses his girlfriend Sylvie good bye, she promises to wait for him but ultimately abandons him and starts dating his brother Dave (without telling Kenny anything, of course). OK, these things do happen. When Kenny is released from prison, Dave and Sylvie decide to keep their relationship secret (just for no reason). Kenny gets suspicious, confronts Sylvie but she still does not want to tell him the truth. Eventually Kenny finds out, goes insane and kills Sylvie. This is it. The end of the story. Why on earth was this movie made? What is the point? No answers. The characters are really dumb and lacking the kind of psychological depth or anything else that might make us sympathize with them, the plot is thin and unconvincing. Tec contribution is solid although the movie was made on a relatively low budget.
