This is what happens when excellent camera work, great cinematography, very tasteful color scheme, pretty promising ideas clash with hasty tempo, very surfac-y delivery, thin character development, very sketchy plot.
What makes it really annoying, is the fact of how many new people appear in the course of the movie... and then disappear. You simply have no time to sympathize or hate anyone there.
It seems that filmmakers had a grand vast array of plot lines but lack of time and finance made it cut short and abrupt.
Having said that, the battle scenes are shot well, Russians speak without any accent, but then, again, they were not all bearded or talking about vodka or so cruel.
Even Pan Jozef Pilsudski is shown in a very weird and sketchy style... pity.
Several great Polish actors have very little screen time, which is also a huge minus here.
Pity, but the promising movie failed, not with a dull plod but with a faint whimp rather.
I expected more... I am rather dillusioned now.
