    Edit
    • Trivia
      Characters' last names have been taken from Serbian language - Prigusivac means 'silencer', Bauk is 'boogyman', and Cetnik is a nickname for Serbian military during WW2 or paramilitary units during Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. However, these are never really used as surnames in Serbia or anywhere else.
    • Quotes

      Miriam Prigusivac: Why can't you be more like your brother Chick?

      Heck Prigusivac: Mom Chick's on death row for murder.

      Miriam Prigusivac: it was good enough for your father.

      Heck Prigusivac: Just because they are remorseless killers doesn't mean that I should follow in their footsteps

      Miriam Prigusivac: There you go getting all uppity again.

      Heck Prigusivac: Uppity? All I want to do is to get through my life with out murdering anyone. Is that so wrong?

    Waiste of time
    If hell exists, this movie will win an Oscar over there. The torture would be that you will be made to watch it, and watch it get an Oscar.

    TOTAL WAISTE OF TIME, LIFE AND ENERGY.

    Story sucked, started sort of OK, might have been something but then turned into some stupid boring redneck crap. I had to forward it to see the end and that's it.

    I waisted 40 min before I realised that this is going nowhere.

    When it started and we got to the death row topic, thought this might be an interesting "noir" ,some sort of black comedy about death row.

    Turned out it is SH#T.
