Disgusted by the portrayal of Poland in this movie
10 February 2014
Warning: Spoilers
This contains spoilers only for the first 5 minutes of the movie. So feel free to read on. I mean, how can somebody be so inconsiderate to portrait Poland like this? They filmed in Poland but didn't do any frigging research about the damn country. Let me walk you trough the first 5 minutes. It starts in the Wronki Prison. Have they even been there? What the hell?! That does not look like a polish prison. You want to see how a polish prison and their cells look like? Just watch any clip from the movie Symetria. Nobody is barred in cages like that. The warehouse/cages look like some soviet gulag! That is nothing like a polish prison. Second of all, right after the first prison scene, we have an aerial shot of a bridge with a SOVIET SONG from Belarus (!!!!)in the background. What the hell Canada? Next scene. 2 thugs in tracksuits. Thugs in Poland don't wear tracksuits for at least 10 years now. And Polish police would not chase down with motorbikes down the stairs of the subway, not to mention going into the metro car in a motorcycle!!! That is just outrageous. But hold on. It's not over yet. When the bikes chase each other, the camera shows 2 babushkas!!!! THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN POLAND! Who the heck is so dumb to portrait Poland like some soviet country? This seriously looks like Russia, and I am personally offended. You canadians should be ashamed. I would suspect such lack of professional filmmaking and writing from a typical B plan from Hollywood. canada, you have lost my respect in filmmaking for this foolishness
