Via d'uscita

Just stumbled onto this mini series.

It's Polish and one of the most edge of the seat, nail biting, and gripping programs that I've seen for a long time.

Explosive action that fully fits the narrative perfectly. Excellently acted, directed and scripted.

The storyline is sharp, NO extra long scenes that are superfluous to the story. A little bit of romance to develop the characters, and fighting scenes that are excellently choreographed and perfectly played out.

Worth watching, for those on holidays or for a weekend binge.

Nail biting series that it absolutely worth watching. This Polish cinema at its best, which is going to give competition to the rest. It's hard to beat.

There was a lot of promise here. The set up is plausible. The execution was not. The writers required too much suspension of belief to pull this off. Its a shame because most of it wasn't required. They couldn't help but go "Hollywood".

The main protaganists were ok. The acting was there. The on location filming and musical scoring were on point. Another good point was breaking the episodes down into one hour episodes. You are able to digest a lot because of good pacing.

There are some background side stories that are sprinkled in but not enough to bog the main story down. Overall its a good series if you can get past the implausible moments and is well worth a watch.

Ended up binge watching it in 2 days, watched it with subtitles great story, great action.

Appreciated all the cinematography - colour grading down to a tee.

All the tactical kit and gear, oscar with a devil on one shoulder an angel on the other listening to both a different times, a good guy albeit with a bad streak.

You don't quite get the reason why but you figure out his panic attacks are PTSD from his Army days.

Great character relationships, you can follow how everyone knows each other and how it's all intertwined, two mafia families struggling for power after a streak of paranoia sets the fire below them.

I tried it without any expectations and surprisingly it drew me in right from the start and turned out to be a great crime story with dynamic and gripping action from an area of Europe that we know so little about, especially the criminal world or the police forces dealing with the most difficult cases. The action scenes are realised in such a way that you could watch it for hours. I must admit that I rarely watch 1-2 episodes a day, but I watched this one at the weekend and I can't remember the last time I did. It's nice that the authors didn't stretch it to more episodes, maybe the atmosphere would have sat down, the 6 we got I watched on the verge of biting my nails. I will not write anything about the quality of the actors, because they were spot on, every one of them. I had a great time with it, I can't wait for the second season and I hope it will be just as exciting and we won't have to wait too long. For me a solid 10/10, more of this kind of manly cinema please.

"Go Ahead Brother" (2024) delivers a pulse-pounding cinematic experience that sets a high bar for action films. The fight scenes are breathtaking, blending intricate choreography with raw intensity, each punch and kick perfectly framed to maximize impact. The camera work is masterful, with dynamic angles and seamless tracking shots that pull you directly into the action. The editing complements this perfectly, maintaining a relentless pace without ever feeling chaotic. The cast shines, delivering performances that balance emotional depth with physical prowess. While the script doesn't reinvent the genre, it offers solid storytelling and enough character development to keep you invested. Overall, it's a must-watch for action enthusiasts, combining technical brilliance with thrilling spectacle.
