Nimród Antal’s film Kontroll is many things. The first half will have you thinking it’s a comedy about rough and tumble misfits trying to make their way in life. We follow small groupings of ticket inspectors as they make their daily rounds in the Budapest subway system. The groups function like street gangs getting into fights with both passengers and other ticket inspectors. There are more than a few times that the film seems like a comic reworking of Walter Hill’s Warriors.
