Why pour salt on old wounds?
31 March 2019 | by czekalowski-50762 – See all my reviews

I have to say that I'm surprised by this film. Frankly, I got used to Polish lame cinematography, but suddenly Pasikowski did something up to the mark. Nevertheless shooting scenes look bloody fake, London is shown as a peaceful city - no struggling with war at all! ha! I solemnly hope Polish screenwriters and director will find new topic for films. In my opinion we don't need another war film made just to remind us how bad Nazis were back in the days of World War II.
