Redolent of The Godfather and The Sopranos with a soupçon of Animal Kingdom and a welcome dose of black humor, this entertaining, fast-paced crime thriller is set in the lawless borderlands of the Slovak Republic and Ukraine, prior to Slovakia’s 2007 accession to the European Union. It bounds to the top of its genre class with muscular direction, a genre savvy screenplay, unusual locations spectacularly captured, a propulsive score and impressive performances, in particular an extremely physical turn from Slovak theater and TV star Tomáš Maštalír as the lead.
The film’s title refers not only to changing physical boundaries but also to the moral lines that Adam (Maštalír), head of a small cigarette smuggling empire, feels that he must not cross in his efforts to keep his home and business lives separate. Hang on for a wild ride as the smart, twisty screenplay continually brings more characters and complications into the mix.
