One of the best final scenes I've seen in years. A film I've just discovered and I can't wait to show it to my friends asap. Masterpiece.

Amazing movie, I totally felt in love with it even if the trailer looks like an old "police academy" movie :) I'm currently listening to the soundtrack which is very good too, with dialogues included... I like it!
