The story of one of those psychopathic men who give the nice guys a bad name. This time we have some karma. A great educational film for those female victims of Lothario.
Entertaining from the beginning to the end.
I can't say I was expecting much from this movie. I mean, and I don't want to sound condescending, but Hungarian cinema is not immediately the thing I think about when I want to watch a good movie. The good ratings it got could have been fake, or come from people from that country that are very proud of their country and couldn't write anything bad that comes from Hungary. It wouldn't be the first time I've been fooled like that, a couple Turkish movies pop into my mind. That said I was completely wrong. Chameleon deserves its high ratings. I just watched Rogue Agent, a similar movie based on real events, but this one certainly isn't lesser entertaining. On the contrary, I thought it was very well written, a story that makes sense, with some good twists. The acting was good as well. Chameleon is easy to watch, with some wicked characters that keep the story interesting to follow. In the future I'll give Hungarian cinema another go, not sure about Turkish movies though.
