Reviews

inioi Remarkable movie with a transcendent (and frightening) content: How far a normal and reasonable person could go when facing a critical situation.One of the positive features of the movie is it's low budget, so the director can focus on deliver us a raw, shocking and realistic movie.The point here is something which we are not willing to face, but as the matter of fact, it happened to a couple of regular guys. As you can imagine, the approach of this movie is quite philosophical and psychological. A good chance to looking at ourselves in the mirror as human beings.8/10

kausix777 Two friends, Adam and Stefanek, land in a soup as they are looking for a business loan and Stefanek runs into an ex-neighbour of his, Gerard. He tells Gerard his business plan and Gerard offers to get a buyer.However, the deal doesn't work. Yet, Gerard keeps harassing the two friends to recover his costs.Realities dawn slowly, adding to the mild suspense of the film. The acting is top class as the two friends face unusual and unexpected situations and try to come out of them unharmed.This is an atmospheric, cold movie. The least it would do is to make you think. What are the options? What are the alternatives?

Andrzej Gorecki Based on true events, the movie shows the dilemma faced by law-abiding people confronted by ruthless, petty criminals. The Police is simply not interested - there is not enough evidence to get a conviction, so why bother. In the meantime, the victims and their families are being gradually destroyed as the criminals are trying to force them to re-pay an imaginary debt. This movie will make you think - how would you react - what would you do differently to avoid the final tragedy. Excellent acting, strong plot, high quality DVD with excellent English subtitles - well worth watching.

airen This is a masterpiece of a movie that will make you think twice about trusting your "friends". The fact that it is based upon a true story adds a whole other dimension to it. Interestingly enough, I read that the movie moved the Polish courts to reopen the criminal case upon which it was based. Truly a pity that it was not submitted to Cannes or Oscars, because it had a good shot for both.
