Small World

As far as I am concerned Poland produces the best crime dramas among all the former socialist countries. They produce very dark and cruel stories which are never for the faint hearted. Their trick: they tend to not get detached from reality much.

So this movie is no exception. Nobody who expects some light entertainment, adventure and easy satisfection should go anywhere near it as the viewer will have to endure scenes matching those one would see in the toughest psycho thrillers and horror flicks.

But for those who like the realistic hardcore stuff, this movie will absolutely work.

Personally I do not like Vegas movies, bigstar Hollywood wannabe director from Poland, with the audience of underage low life thugs. But in this one I guess he bed the curve a bit, going towards into a more mature subject. Still the movie is way below average but I got to give him points for the theme.

Disgusting, we went to cinema in group od 8. Nobody enjoyed watching this movie. I had to go outside cinema as I could not watched it as I felt sick (I have seen a lot in my life but I am sorry it has been truly horrible and disgusting). Please do yourself favour and do not watch this crap.

Small World is a disturbing but realistic portrayal of a film on the subject of child sex trafficking. A girl is abducted in Poland and taken to Russia as a cop relentlessly pursues the kidnappers. From Poland and Russia to Britain and Thailand, the underworld of these slime bags is universal. The acting is excellent, and the story a riveting one. Not a pleasant movie, but a necessary one.

There was an opportunity here to weave the viewer through a sick twisted journey of pedophiles and the worst of humanity, but worn-out cliches, mouth-yawning action, unnecessary story sequences and painfully stupid character decisions bury this movie in the cemetary of forgotten films. Too bad, there were actually some worthy moments and glimpses of potential. But as usual, too many writers and filmmakers today can't look past the typical crap to create moving stories with interesting characters.
