The Bouncer is painstakingly realistic and fully aware of its own limits.

If you're looking for a mindless movie that you're willing to pay attention to, yet not devote any brain cells towards, this is a worthy venture and you'll probably be entertained.

"The Bouncer" dreams up ways to give audiences what they expect without being too obvious with helpings of formula.

If meditative thrillers about aging heroes is your bag, then Lukas (the superior European title of The Bouncer) is the crime film for you.
