Senator

A good start simply. The English title, and that's all I know, The Senator and is about two characters, very different, whose destinies meet in a nice heroin-conspiracy-business. First, we have the happy, naive and good-natured taxi driver who would prefer to marry his cousin and ensure that mother may see a doctor because of his leg pain. Then we have the sick law-abiding police Haghgoo that never has broken the law. The driver shows his fine driving in a car chase and become an employee of Khomeri, a really slimy politicians (it is implied in the beginning) who are also heroin dealers. Of course do not know our hero that it is heroin trafficking is all about, and will be fixed - by Haghgoo - in a crackdown. But after a while you realize Haghgoo that his new friend is innocent, let him go and get himself fired for this prank. This is where an ordinary Swedish movie ended. But since this is an Iranian film, these two handsome heroes together to strike hard against hard when it comes Khomeri and his heroin-league. With yachts, some shootings, fights and some nice story-twists as a result. Despite the low budget and the simple act so this was a really efficient narrated story. Exciting and well-acted, with an interesting mix of Iranian culture and commercial thriller entertainment.
