Plagi Breslau

The Plagues of Breslau: Set in Wroclaw (Breslau) Poland. A serial Killer is imitating the methods used to execute criminals in 18th Century Breslau. Sewn inside cowhides which shrink in the sun, torn apart by horses. They have their crimes branded in their bodies. Helena is a troubled DI who must solve these crimes aided by oddballs like her sergeant who loves to take selfies and a tough profiler with a chip on her shoulder. There's also a publicity seeking alcoholic prosecutor and a ruthless television reporter. Perhaps too many quirky characters though the film has elements of satire as the killer is intent on uncovering corruption in public life. Directed and written by Patryk Vega. 6/10. On netflix.

Starts out as a buddy thriller - 2 mismatched oddballs teamed to fund a killer then veers - quite unbelievably- into something else. The all business cop with the haunted eyes is familiar and the actress brings real authenticity there. FemAle rage in general plays a major. certainly a worthy watch with a couple decent twists.

How refreshing to watch a movie full of unpredictable twists (who has written that it's full of cliches must be out of his mind), with a great script, excellent actors and a fast pace! Can't understand why it is so underrated

I can't think of many Polish films, but perhaps I need to dig a little deeper, I enjoyed this one, a good thriller, nicely made, with some pretty harrowing scenes. There was a degree of originality about it, it's good.

I would recommend watching it in its original form with subtitles, as the dubbed version that I watched felt so odd, the voices didn't seem to fit the characters.

It's solid, 7/10.

It's as if none of the people writing the negative reviews have ever known real Polish people. The acting was well above average, as was the storyline. Just because you have no knowledge of a culture, doesn't mean you should criticize its films. More evidence of the declining IQs on this platform.
