Hungarian literature vs. the best in US. action movies

Great idea to adapt a poem into an action movie! Definitely have to see this short movie if you want to know what happens when Hungarian literature meets the US.shoot-em up action movie style :) Great casting...I wonder whether those guys are professionals or just a bunch of fanatics who went to the cinema too often :) Music is also well chosen, suspenseful throughout the movie. Somehow I cannot figure out whether this movie had a budget of millions at disposal (special effects are really pro) or was simply a no-budget movie by cinema addicts: anyway, I love the end result.

If I'm not mistaken, Hit-man won a couple of awards (Best Director?) in Hungary / Central Europe.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. 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 short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
