The Whistlers is a good crime film. I liked it a lot. It's not extraordinary, really, but it is good, and I love crime movies, so I was into this. There are some good performances (especially Julieta Szönyi and Rodica Lazar), and it is sexy and strange. But I kept thinking that the tension really could have been ratcheted up with a director more sure of himself than Corneliu Porumboiu.
Incidentally, the title is La Gomera, which is one of the Canary Islands – administered by the Kingdom of Spain; The Whistlers refers to the whistling language on the island thast is so central to the plot of this film.
