''Kontroll'' is a 2003 Hungarian film directed by Nimrod Antal, starring Sandor Csanyi and Eszter Balla. The title refers to the Hungarian word for the act of metro employees checking for tickets. The film focuses on the daily struggles of a group of metro ticket inspectors in a subway system based on (and shot in) the Budapest Metro. They spend their day exploring abandoned tracks, fighting with irate customers, chasing down an elusive graffiti artist, and competing with a rival team of Kontroll agents. He and his fellow inspectors struggle with their jobs because every one of their customers resents them for harassing them in their daily commute. Meanwhile, a serial killer has been stalking the metro pushing customers into the tracks. There's also a woman in a bear suit. You heard us.

* AllThereInTheScript: you will only find out that the woman in the bear suit is called Szofi (Sophie) by waiting for the credits and looking for the highest-placed woman.

* BareYourMidriff: the woman in the opening sequence.

* {{Chiaroscuro}}: when Bulcsu meets Bela after hours. Bela is eating in a dark carriage, lit by a bright portable lamp.
* ColorWash: most scenes have a green/yellow cast. This makes the final scene with blue daylight shining down the escalator stand out all the more.

* IWasQuiteALooker: Bela the train driver and Szofi are father and daughter. They have a scene together in which she tells him "You remind me of an angel," and he replies "You should have seen me in my prime!" They laugh.
