Avoid this movie like the plague!, 17 January 2008
4/10
Author: jamestalltree from United States

The subtitles in this movie are horrific. The translation from Polish to English is not smooth at all. The translation is somewhat similar to the terrible Chinese knockoffs that are now in circulation. It would seem that whoever translated this movie was a native Polish speaker with limited English skills. There are many grammatical mistakes in translation, problems with thought continuity, and failure to follow logical semantic sequences. The only saving grace is the cinematography, which is superb. If just for the cinematography, I would rate this movie a 10, but the translation pulls my rating down to a 4. I was tempted to give it a rating of 1, but the saving grace is the cinematography. This is one that is definitely to be avoided.
