John Serba Decider The unorthodox, low-key approach to the material might not work for everyone, but Justice offers enough dramatic potency and observational acumen to satisfy those who get to its final scenes. Nov 20, 2024 Full Review Andrea Beach Common Sense Media Fans of police procedurals will find a lot of meat and potatoes to chew on with this gritty, compelling Polish crime drama. Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Gazda creates an atmosphere of sustained tension, with a direction that avoids excess and a rhythm that pulls you into Gadacz's inner conflict.

Nicolette M Thoroughly enjoyed. They can definitely pursue a second movie or a series with the two detectives as partners. An authentic vibe between them that comes across well. The scriptwriters must just get the cases as interesting as this one. Cinematography and depicting Poland was also great. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Alain E A serviceable police procedural from post communism Poland. As required, no character has a working family life. The hero is a police officer who has been forced into retirement due to his association with the Party. Apparently he is the only one with experience to work on a recent bloody bank robbery. Estranged from his family he is now peddling kitschy lawn ornaments. He is paired with a younger divorced female officer. On the plus side, we don’t have an improbable on the job hookup. Kind like an overweight Philip Marlowe, minus the cigarettes and the booze, he is able to figure out what happened. The end is a little weak. A seasoned policeman would have checked for weapons a criminal responsible for multiple murders, before allowing him to exit a building alone. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Barry K i thought it was really good. i especially liked the gritty and realistic atmosphere of Poland after the fall of communism there. very well filmed. not many crime thrillers let the viewer know in advance who the perps are and yet still can keep one’s interest. a series of screw ups by screw ups robbing a bank. climactic flashback scene as to why the victims were murdered. all the acting was very good. especially the bad guy, the weak guy and the old school detective. i recommend it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Sean F Surprisingly watchable old school police drama surrounding the offer of some form of rehabilitation / redemption for a former polish communist police official if he helps solve a bank robbery where staff were murdered. I kept the original dialogue in polish with English closed captions as the redubbed version has been poorly done. Set in the early 1990's following the fall of communism, the era is realistically portrayed with all it's drab urban sprawl, dodgy consumerism and suspicion of former state officials.
