This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
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!
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).
