Just perfect...
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
I really enjoyed this film. I was particularly pleased with the performance of Rafal Mockowiak (Piotr). He was a delight to watch from being a good little brother to being the evil skinhead.I was not happy with the way Magda was portrayed. She seemed to be the stereotypical damsel in distress. I could barely watch her scenes.Sometimes the plot was weak but I did enjoy it to the end. The performances at times were weak but I felt that Rafal Mackowiak was a strong character and loved watching him. I was not expecting much from this film but I was pleasantly surprised.
I was looking forward to seeing this film, but it turned out to be a minor disappointment. One major problem was that neither of the brothers was particularly likable, so the only remotely appealing character was Magda. With essentially no one to cheer for, the movie started to drag, and so my interest had waned by the time the violent conclusion took place. The movie had good energy, and there was usually quite a lot going on, but not enough of these goings-on were especially interesting. A good time killer, but not much more.
A story about two brothers - one of them escaped from prison and (together with his three fellow prisoners) horrifies the honeymoon weekend of the other. Made me tired, although lasts below 80 minutes. Very brutal, nasty and cruel. The acting was B-class, The only good thing is the beauty of Dancewicz. Typical waste of time. 4/10
