This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

The last movie of Piesiewicz's trilogy, Nadzieja (Purgatory), was directed by polish director Stanislaw Mucha, and is tells the story of a young-boy Francis, who lost his mother in childhood as a result of an accident caused by him, and is now trying to make up for it by trying to save an art dealer soul who has stolen a painting from a church.Being written by Piesiewicz the movie does not fail to deliver a brilliant script, which is purposefully made to be seen as "thought-provoking". This mixed with the amazing direction of Stanislaw Mucha, which obviously got some inspiration out of Kieslowski's movies and a very good acting, makes up for an amazing experience. In sum, this is a perfect movie for everyone who is a fan of Kieslowski's work. However it is important to note that the movie is a bit slow pace, and so might not be of the interest of the mainstream audience.
