The Loser Takes All (2002)
Man (Gianis Aggelakas), a mysterious man of the underworld, small time grifter and big time hard-man, who has an anarchic tendency to mumble and comment on the system, society, police, the underworld itself and other things, along with his beloved bird, Bellafonte, meets up with an odd posse consisting of kid, who is a young songwriter, a prostitute who gathers money in order to open a bookstore, an alcoholic girl haunted by the relationship with her dead mother, and the grudgey bar-woman-ex-girlfriend. The five of them get caught up in a scheme involving the media, the mob, politicians and the police. And they definitely want to get the hell out of the city, probably to some Caribbean paradise.

So much average
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
