Via d'uscita

"Go Ahead Brother" (2024) delivers a pulse-pounding cinematic experience that sets a high bar for action films. The fight scenes are breathtaking, blending intricate choreography with raw intensity, each punch and kick perfectly framed to maximize impact. The camera work is masterful, with dynamic angles and seamless tracking shots that pull you directly into the action. The editing complements this perfectly, maintaining a relentless pace without ever feeling chaotic. The cast shines, delivering performances that balance emotional depth with physical prowess. While the script doesn't reinvent the genre, it offers solid storytelling and enough character development to keep you invested. Overall, it's a must-watch for action enthusiasts, combining technical brilliance with thrilling spectacle.

I was really attracted by this amazing social thriller, giving so much importance on characters, even supporting ones. Not too easy to follow, to summarize, but really well made, pulled by convincing performances. It so poignant, gripping, violent in the same time. Only the last part of the last episode deceived me, deceived me so much that I prefer forgetting this TV show from Poland. It could have been darker, grittier, instead of this American like style. You know what I am talking about. I hope that the makers of this TV show will give us something more downbeat next time. I don't regret the time I spent on it. No, only the last fifteen minutes are junk.

This is the best thing I've watched for years -

The acting, direction, writing , music and pace are all spot on.. There's not a wasted moment and the action scenes are awesome and utterly gripping

But what I really loved (and only the best series do this) is that iit takes you to places, in your mind, that you don't expect to be taken to - it jall ust kind of creeps up on you and without truly knowing why., you know that you are watching something special.

While part of me hopes that there will be a second series, the other part of me is saying, leave it alone, don't ruin things, it's brillant as it is.

There was a lot of promise here. The set up is plausible. The execution was not. The writers required too much suspension of belief to pull this off. Its a shame because most of it wasn't required. They couldn't help but go "Hollywood".

The main protaganists were ok. The acting was there. The on location filming and musical scoring were on point. Another good point was breaking the episodes down into one hour episodes. You are able to digest a lot because of good pacing.

There are some background side stories that are sprinkled in but not enough to bog the main story down. Overall its a good series if you can get past the implausible moments and is well worth a watch.

My husband says 5 as he felt it was 2 episodes too long & average.

I rated it higher as it was good, good action. There were a couple annoying bits like "meet me by the forest". Well it's a pretty big forest. But I suppose there might have been only one small area where it met the road. A couple little buggies like that. Oh, SWAT going to a house but noone covers the rear door.

I liked it because it was Polish. So the cast was fresh (although it wasn't that important).

What I like is looking at foreign countries, customs & houses. Yeah, and organised crime, I guess. They turned someone's house into a brothel, so I get to see how a foreign brothel would be decorated! Not that I know what any would look like - well except for tv. Come to think of it, there wasn't much difference except it did look more up-scale. LOL.

It was interesting to see a person from Ukraine living in a flat sharing the flat with 7 other women, all living in one bedroom in bunk beds. It wasn't a refugee center - but a flat share. And they would still be blackmailed with the safety of their husbands in jail or such in Russia.

To be honest, it's easy to see why so many people want to come to America when American shows have houses like South Fork or mansions. They sure don't show much in the way of realism of "normal" people out in the country in smaller towns. Even there they show the houses with big wooden staircases & stained glass windows & huge rooms.

Anyway, it's interesting. Pretty in places. Decent plot & acting.
