Audience Member This latest Serbian political thriller was a real refreshing event. The director Miroslav Terzic managed to effectively use just intriguing enough screenplay co-written by Ðorde Milosavljevic and Nikola Pejakovic (with input from journalist Filip Svarm). The story of Dusan Ilic (Gordan Kicic) who is employed at the Serbian state prosecutor's office, and gets a top secret case to investigate a war crime committed by a disbanded paramilitary unit was developing slowly with a pace perfect for an effective thriller. Maybe the way he manages to find Micun (superbly acted by Uliks Fehmiu) - who's the only surviving witness, had few "holes" in the story whose arbitrary coincidences undermine the story's believability. I could say that the screenplay was the "weakest link" and even the polished look and atmosphere couldn't cover some of the flows.

Of course, the problem with such approach of the director is that Serbian film theatre audiences have been conditioned into rejecting ambitious, well-crafted cinematic projects if they don't pander or resort to sensationalism... My thoughts are - it will be their loss! I don't think that you'll see it in a cinema but the DVD is already available... check it out.
