John Doyle Globe and Mail [The] director, Patryk Vega, is also interested in speeding up the story, and the narrative here moves at a blistering pace. He makes most European crime dramas look painfully slow and oblique. May 26, 2020 Full Review Elisabeth Vincentelli New York Times A pulsating rage at the way society neglects women in particular, its weakest members in general, courses through the movie. More than the displays of flayed flesh, it's what sticks. Apr 24, 2020 Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian Offering a set-piece every 10 minutes, a twist every 30, it's pure pulp, but Vega knows how to sell it, and there are pearls of wisdom amid the nastiness. Rated: 3/5 Nov 29, 2018 Full Review Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut Serial killer detective thriller: bloody, nasty, fast-paced and thoroughly Polish, written and directed by Patryk Vega. It's exciting, and has a great story, familiar in parts, but only just. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Police hunt serial killer; language and extreme violence. Rated: 2/5 May 7, 2020 Full Review John Serba Decider Plagues is a thriller that reveals too much too early and is all the better for it, because it shows a willingness to push the story into relatively uncharted territory in the third act.

HABIBA NAZEERA B A compact and detailed thriller movie. Great movie. Well done! Female leads! Not for those who love meaningless action/male dominated drama. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Audience Member I liked this Polish film. Elements of Girl with a Dragon Tattoo and Se7en for a complicated serial killer chase. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member THIS IS A WILD RIDE. PLOT TWISTS GALORE Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I haven't watched a movie with this bad writing, acting and storytelling. Any 10 year old that watched once a murder story would come up with better movie. Don't waste your time, it's so bad and illogical it isn't even funny. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It had all the ingredients for a great sinister movie. But it lacked nuances, the first half of the movie had a good pace, the second half tumbled off in a rollercoaster. It lacked depth and buildup. Also the main detective story and character was very cliché. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Cat and mouse chase where the cat ends up being the bird watching the cat who was really a mouse. I can admit I didn't see the twists coming even though I had questions about the certain someone who suddenly appeared. The acting was so raw that I let it slide just to see what would happen next. Love a good police crime series. Appreciated how it got all the things in within a good amount of episodes. I think it kept the tension high and the urgency to find out the outcome. Would definitely recommend to another police crime enthusiast. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
