Knockin' on Heaven's Door Trailers

Two young men, Martin and Rudi, both suffering from terminal cancer, get to know each other in a hospital room. They drown their desperation in tequila and decide to take one last trip to the sea. Drunk and still in pajamas they steal the first fancy car they find, a 60's Mercedes convertible. The car happens to belong to a bunch of gangsters, which immediately start to chase it, since it contains more than the pistol Martin finds in the glove box.

I have to say I really enjoyed and had a lot of fun with this film. Lots of great humor and even has humor in its situation. But one of the main things I like about this film is the emotion that also lies in the film. This film has a very good presentation of true friendship but in very odd circumstances. The only thing I can say this film is like is saying it is the bucket list meets Tarantino. It has the same general idea of the bucket list (but this film had the idea first) and then add a stolen car that had a million in cash which rightfully belongs to the mob. The film is very easy to enjoy and get into.The acting, writing, and story all are great in this film. I have to say that anyone who is a fan of Tarantino or films in general I can almost guarantee you will enjoy this film. I can't think of much else to day about this film but I can say that I recommend this film to anyone who finds the subject matter slightly interesting. Lastly I will say is watch the film and produce your own opinion of what you thought. Thanks for reading my review.

The movie is great. Simply brilliant. Even if you try to retell the plot you'll miss the whole point, because this movie isn't about the chain of events - it's about the people, the characters, the life itself. There is not a single scene that falls out of the whole composition: even though the plot is not the key issue here, it still beautifully binds the whole story together, perfectly connecting all the dots. And have your tissues ready: no matter how many times I watch it I always cry at the end and I'm not usually very sentimental. As for my male friends who watched it with me several times they usually just stay very silent at the end. It is very emotional and overwhelming: both sad and somehow positive at the same time. I envy those who have not seen it and will watch it for the first time.

Incredibly interesting and clever movie! This movie is very popular in Russia. Why? I don't know. May be because of its excellent philosophical meaning. But it's a fact that this film is close to the Russian spectators (it's enough to see ratings and lists of favorite films). This film is a parable about the main aim of human's life. What's really the main thing in our life? What will you do if you remained to live only several days? These are very interesting questions. And the heroes of this movie trying to answer this questions... It's not so difficult to see the sea, as it seems.

I think this is a very decent movie. It does make you think and has enough depth and intelligence hidden in the characters alone. Its great the way the "hard" guy has a dream to do something nice for his mother and the more "loser" character wants to have sex with two women. This is a great way to juxtapose two characters and makes the film more interesting to watch. I liked the idea of the two guys meeting before the hospital scene. The jokes in the film are both visual and dialogue-based. Most of them are good and made me chuckle a couple of times. The choice of music was very good and the ending was a good concept. I knew the guy would die in the end but i thought they wouldn't get to the sea in time. I should have thought otherwise but the film is made cleverly enough for me to mistake the two outcomes/climaxes. Overall i think everyone should see this film if they get the chance.
