Storyline
The film is the story of a search undertaken by the Czech tourist guide Tomás Egermaier, who had become a chance witness to his countryman Patrik Lovický's arrest for holding drugs in the (fictitious) Asian town of Bandung. Tomás starts investigating the young man's past and the events that finally led to this long prison sentence. A story about the cruel fate that can hit anyone who considers drug smuggling from Asia an easy way of getting rich quickly, it was inspired by the true stories of young people who fell into this trap, were arrested and imprisoned. The Damned is also the first film on the subject of drugs that the Kingdom of Thailand officially permitted to be filmed on its territory. Written by Ceskatelevize.cz
A Czech tourist gets arrested in Thailand for smuggling heroin. He is sent to prison for 50 years. But what has really happened? We find out through watching his vacation footage he recorded before everything happened, and through investigation made by his brother who is trying to help him. Sometimes the movie feels like an action flick, then it's a documentary, just to switch to a drama... and all of this keeps happening with 4-5 languages switching back and forth. The camera is often very shaky but that goes perfectly with the many styles in which this movie was brewed. Overall, it kept me on my toes the whole way, and although some parts were pretty B-style, it was a great enjoyable "different" movie for the afternoon.
