banned flick with terrible English with an 'Antwerp' overtone

Rob Van Eyck, the director, is a controversial person here in Belgium. This flick was banned as it is told due the story it's all about. I can't tell of that's true that it was banned and that Rob was concerned about his life because persons wanted to kill him. I guess it was some kind of promotion.

Fact is that the story of Dutroux and the gang bangs called the Pink Flamingo's were all through. But Rob tried to connect 'De Bende Van Nijvel' together with Dutroux. Belgium did have it's terrorism back in the eighties with the CCC, extreme left group who laid some bombs here in Belgium, or indeed some terrible raids with innocents deaths just visiting a grocery store. Nevertheless history was written and Belgium did knew a dark history back then, deaths, children being killed, and I can go on and on.

As I said earlier, the combination of De Bende Van Nijvel and Dutroux did work out (never was in reality) but once that part is over this flick falls in stupidity. And the most annoying thing is people coming from Antwerp trying to speak English. They failed. All the actors involved just couldn't pronounce their words perfectly and even some acting was as wooden as it can be.

But this flick is also worth watching for some other reasons, Rob always added Jacques Verbist (Afterman) in his flicks, here he is again playing a numb gangster. But we can also see the decline of Nathalie-Jane Krits (Gina) who came out of another famous Belgian flick She Good Fighter (1995). After this flick she was only seen in a small part in the series Spoed (2003 - 2007). Nowadays she's modelling. But the most notorious name here is Saartje Vandendriessche. This was her first flick ever but went further to Matroesjka's (2005) as Sita were she even showed her juggs. From there on she went further to television even becoming an announcer on VRT, Belgium's television. 

There's no blood in this flick and a bit of nudity but people who wanted to see Saartje then this is your moment. If you are into exploitation then this is one to watch.

Dutch cinema often combines understated realism with offbeat humor, tackling moral ambiguity and social change. It balances intimate storytelling with bold, sometimes provocative, visual styles. Dutch films combine art-house sensibility with grounded storytelling, reflecting the country's open, yet quietly complex culture.

The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
