"A group of men and women, once activist anarchists, are brought together when one of their homemade bombs explodes fifteen years later and their identities could be found out. Despite the satirical and witty premise on ‘political activism’, the film manages to disappointingly overlook most of its interesting aspects in favour of a more conventional, universal and simple structure based around the subject of friendship. It’s an enjoyable film, and the style is modern and fresh and in many ways it is neither worse nor better than the similar and more popular The Edukators. But overall, it still feels like a wasted opportunity at something more."
