This movie is outstanding. The dark streets, the music, and the old buildings really give you the feeling like you are in the old Socialist Yugoslavia. It's really a blast from the past. The storyline is gripping, and fun to watch. There is not one spot in the movie that is boring. There were some flaws, like newer cars visible, modern apparel, modern buildings, but man... this movie really shows you how life was back in SFRY Yugoslavia! 10/10, I hope the same director makes plenty more movies. He definitely has the right image in his head, and hopefully he can make more movies taking place during the 1970's and 1980's of Yugoslavia. Really great movie, that's all I can say.

I expected much more from this movie...Yet I was disappointed in many ways...Urban legend of "Beogradski phantom" (Belgrade phantom) is used, and since I was teenager in late 70's I am recalling exactly that times. First, IMHO, there are lot of miscast in this movie. Characters are played without enough passion. Leading role (Phantom himself) is played emotionless - without face expression, without stress or anger or joy. What will feel the driver when is chased by dozen of police cars? Will he remain silent, expressionless and dumb? I doubt so! Also, chief of police is played not good enough - like he is some fruit-seller on the market. All chase-scenes were shot in the dark, pretending we see Belgrade in 1979! But still we can see street signs, exchange-office sign from modern times! Also, Phantom wears bad copy, clearly visible, of "ADIDAS" sport-shoes, with 4 stripes ! That was such mistake! Real ADIDAS is with 3 stripes, and in late 70's there were easy to buy original Adidas shoes in every shoe-shop! That was big mistake. Well, I really like beginning of the movie, with scenes taken from real documentaries, but lately, everything went sloppy. I gave 2/10 just because I like scenes taken from documentaries.

I saw the film two times in the movie theater and couldn't believe the previous comment! This is definitely one of the best Serbian films, especially in the last 15 years. This person must have personal reasons for his comment, because all of the reviews in the media, and what I heard people saying, including me is that this film is wonderful. Great mix of documentary and fiction, wonderful actors that really look like the authentic people, fantastic pictures, i loved it! I know the story of the Fantom from my parents, and it really didn't disappoint my expectations. Again, opposed to the previous comment, one of the strongest points of the film is the atmosphere, the actors, the photography and the interviews which are a true delight no only to me, but the whole movie theater was overwhelmed by their charm and wits. Sorry, but i recommend this film not only to those interested in Serbian film, but anyone in search of good cinema.

I really enjoyed this film. I wasn't judging this movie as I would a Hollywood project. It surpasses nearly all of them anyway because it's got soul. People who were there give recounts of their own experiences and perspectives, between the recreations which were very well done. The film has a real 70's feel to it, so masterfully portrayed it's tougher to tell the difference in eras between the actual clips and the recreations, than it is to tell the difference between the recreations and the interviews. If the interviews were not shot in modern crispness, you wouldn't be able to tell this movie wasn't actually from the era of the phantom.The story of the phantom and his effect on the people, especially during a time of tyranny in a police state is inspiring, and even some of the police who were the younger officers at the time admit to secretly admiring him.I'm sure most people will like it, only those who try not to won't.
