What makes it different from others?

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Captivatingly told story of pain, deception, and the struggle for life. Makes you take a hard look at the darkness within your own humanity. Beautifully shot with actors who bring truth (flaws and all) to their stories.

This film should get a lot more recognition for it's efforts. I always like to go into films wanting to know how it's gonna be shot. Visuals and cinematography were great. The group of unknown actors really established their roles with timing and choices. The concept has some originality to it. I would've like to see more of the exploration for a few plot points. Overall... good job. Definitely recommended.

This is a wonderful crime thriller that has been winning awards in film festivals all over the world. The story is intense, dark, and unfolds with the right amount of suspense. The cinematography is absolutely beautiful. The actors, both lead and supporting, portray characters that are very true to life and emotionally connected. Put this film on your list of things to see.

It's not really my type of thing as lots of crime and sex occupies the screen. But apart from the 1 buck actually has little to do with the actual story, the form of tracing a 1 buck from beginning to end does feel something new. The ending's got an interesting little twist though. Interestingly as Harry has killed the serial killer, he gets killed by the drug dealer as well, simultaneously when the police came, and they don't seem surprised at all to him being killed. So it's very likely that the police has ordered the drug dealer to kill Harry. Please let me know if I'm wrong. Altogether, it's really not so bad a movie to see but the rate is exaggerated. 7 to 7.5 would be neutral.
