Maartin is very humble in his occupation. Although he wants to be a detective in the beginning, he is satisfied with being a bicycle cop at the end. The movie copies the formula from many American movies with the smart/dumb villain. The smart villain has a typical bad temper. I believe children would enjoy this film because the underdog wins in the end. The underdog winning is the basis of many children's movies. The movie flows extremely well. It goes with the storyline. In the beginning he is a regular bike cop. In the middle, he is vulnerable about being killed. In the end he is a hero. The production quality is quite good. For example, when Maartin is in trouble, the lighting turns red which signals something bad is happening. I think the makeup of the bruises he receives are also pretty good. Although the underdog wins in the end and the villain goes to jail, the underdog doesn't instantly captured like in most movies. He does get the girl and praises in the end but is humble about it. I recommend for ages 13 to 18 years old because it has some vulgar language with cursing. Accepted for KIDS FIRST! Film Festival.
