Morte às Seis da Tarde

Acting was good by lady cop. The English dubbing was some of the best ever for a foreign film. Dialogue was very believable and not clunky. Kept me interested to the end. I happen to love the bleak atmosphere and moody music in Eastern European films.

Now if you like thrillers to be quite down and dirty, this may be your thing. This does qualify as quite the moody movie, with characters that are hard to sympathize for. Yes even the main character is quite disturbed to say the least, which is quite obvious.

A decent little thriller that will be received in different shades and expectations by those watching it. Depends on which end you fall. Well shot and edited and acted for sure

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.

I've seen many negative reviews about the dubbing, alleged feminist agenda. Please don't believe these - just give the movie a chance. Personally, I don't like a dubbed foreign movie. I turn on original audio, but watch the English subtitles. I'm used to using subtitles because I'm hard of hearing, but it is not as distracting as you would think. Anyway, I enjoyed this movie. The plot maybe starts out familiar to others, but about half way through becomes unique. The ending was absolutely unexpected. Yes, the movie has strong female lead - but one with issues, and certainly not glorified. It is just a good serial killer drama with great location views. If you are not intimidated by foreign language films, I highly recommend this.

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
