An incredible piece of cinema. Nothing brings out the dark side of humanity like war, and this is one of the most hard-boiled war films that I’ve ever seen. Film nerds, take note: the opening shot is five minutes long, dragging the viewer through the streets of post-war Warsaw. If you can watch this noir film all the way to the end, the emotional payoff is a big one, a gritty mess of duty, determination, deception, horror and filth.

“a gritty mess of duty, determination, deception, horror and filth.” YOU sold me!
Can’t wait until you see it. The last shot is just unbelievable! Still gives me chills.
