When Professor Jerzy Abramski, a doctor who specialised in bone marrow transplants who worked for the "Helpful Hand" Foundation, is found murdered Commissioner Wojciech 'Sambor' Samborski is given the case. He is partnered with junior Officer Marta Zadara. Initial suspicion falls on his lover, and mother of his child, but when she too is murdered they realise there is far more to the case than is initially thought; they are dealing with dangerous people who will do whatever it takes to protect their interests.
I rather enjoyed this Polish film. The identity of the killers may be revealed to the viewers fairly early on it is still enjoyable watching the police try to identify the killers and uncover their motive. While this isn't really an action film there are a few impressive action scenes; including a foot chase across rooftops and the killer trying to flee on a motorbike through a maze of shipping containers in the exciting final scenes. Piotr Stramowski and Maria Kania do fine jobs as our protagonists and the rest of the cast are pretty solid too. There are some clichés; at one point Sambor continues investigating after being suspended and a sex scene is somewhat longer than it needs to be; these aren't enough to spoil the film though. Overall a solid low-key crime drama; I'd certainly recommend it to fans of the genre.
