Perfect Hideout (2008)

The movie would be a perfect example of how the mouse eats the cat. It is not because the mouse is so stupid and the cat so strong that there is no possible comparison - the cat simply has to commit suicide. Surely there are secondary stories going around and the plot goes like this (spoiler warning!): A couple is ready to make a new life for themselves, moving to some other country and starting anew. Before they go to the airport a mafia-type guy calls the boy and asks for 'the money back'. The amount of money is so huge that 'the boy' wants to rob a small shop to cover for it. During the chocolate bar rubbery a young angelic cop comes in and is shot it the fight that starts. Running from the little shop 'the boy' and his hysterical and emotionally labile girlfriend have a fight so the car ends up in a ditch. Only after do they kiss and make up and start looking for a car which they find in front of a rich house. Trying to get the keys they manage to enter the house and a surprised scream of 'the girl' in front of an espresso machine calls Victor-' the guy from upstairs' - whom they 'kidnap'. Long story short - Victor is more dangerous then even I imagined. Please watch a Stan Laurel movie before and after this one - they are the same - stupidity drives the plot - there is no real action - In a movie with serious crime and issues that doesn't appear to be a parody - But it is.
