Summary:

Following the events of the first film, Ferry Bouman attempts to establish himself as a major ecstasy producer in Brabant, facing dangerous rivals, shaky alliances, and the challenges of balancing his criminal ambitions with his life with Danielle.

Review:

This continuation delivers exactly what fans loved about the original 'Ferry' and 'Undercover'. Frank Lammers embodies Ferry Bouman with charismatic brutality, making his rise through the criminal ranks both compelling and tense. It masterfully blends gritty crime action with surprisingly heartfelt character moments, particularly Ferry's relationship with Danielle. While technically a series ('Ferry: De Serie'), it functions as the narrative 'Ferry 2', deepening the character and the world.

Audience Recommendation:

Highly recommended for fans of the 'Undercover' series, the first 'Ferry' movie, and gritty European crime dramas. Viewers who enjoy character studies of anti-heroes and stories about the criminal underworld will find this engaging.

Themes:

Explores themes of ambition, loyalty (and betrayal) within criminal organizations, the corrupting influence of power, and the complex interplay between love and a life of crime.

Fun Facts:

• This story (told in 'Ferry: De Serie') chronologically bridges the gap between the prequel movie 'Ferry' (2021) and the first season of 'Undercover'.

• Frank Lammers and Elise Schaap reprise their iconic roles as Ferry Bouman and Danielle van Marken.

• The production heavily features the distinct dialect and atmosphere of the Brabant region in the Netherlands/Belgium.
