What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
COSTA is a series you can't really take seriously: all stories and events are bigger than life. With PISTA, they took things a step further. The screenplay uses the structure of "It's a wonderful life", with Georgina Verbaan being the Angel to set things right. It is a screenplay with a broad imagination. It shows that it was shot with a limited budget (the green-screens of the actors'skiing look pretty bad), but I enjoyed most of the dialogue.Acting is okay, a good thing that most of the original stars of the movie COSTA are in it. (daan Schuurmans is missing, tough). Silvie Meijs later gained stardom as the soccer wife of of, what's his name.. Rafael van der Vaart. Now plays for Hamburg.
....watch this, this is probably the biggest crap ever produced for dutch TV. The acting is so-so, but the script was probably written in a minute or ten by someone recovering from a hangover. It absolutely makes no sense at all; everybody in the film is wearing winter clothing except for our leading characters who all still wear their summer clothes while wandering outside through the snow. The hottest big breasted chick of the bunch then wears a sweater the whole movie while most of her scenes play in a bar (She's a bartender). Imagine: a hot looking babe working in a filled bar where it's hot and she's wearing a sweater. Dumb.and "dumb" is the best way to describe this movie in one word.
