Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Burkettonhe This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
hanserik The best film I ever seen! A thrilling drama comedy with great actors. This film have everything. The author make joke of the "law and order" with no end! You must see it!
grisell A cool criminal movie. Little action, but the suggestive music and the exquisite casting makes this a film worth seeing. Stefan Sauk makes a wonderful portrait of a cop with no emotions, just wanting to cleanse the town from mob. There are a few intense scenes, for instance when Stefan points a stolen revolver at the head of a suspect, and it accidentally goes off. At the end, the film changes from being a display of police violence towards a film about the police fabricating evidence to convict a (all too obvious criminal).
