I left the theatre 30 minutes in, so painful it was. It looks like the first attempt of an inexperienced director; awful writing, camera takes too long and meaningless, a non existent plot, stereotypes at every corner and a futile struggle for a suspense that simply doesn't exist.
It I could give this movie a zero, I would.

Many Polish actions movies are really good. I decided ti give it a try,,, and that was a mistake. With all due respect there is nothing interesting in this movie. The idea of the plot seem interesting at the beginning but the further the action progress the worst it became. The worst is lack of any logic in the developments as well as totally random events that very often has nothing to do with what comes next (or at best very little). The entire movie looks like a collage of separately shot scenes that were somehowe glued together in postproduction. Also the actors are medicover at best. Sometimes you have the impression that they were forced to play or that hey were not paid enough. In general the movie is terrible so it should be avoided.
I did not waste my time at all. The concept and the idea itself of this film are very interesting. Mysterious. And although I honestly need to admit, Piotr Adamczyk is really good in this role. The film is about paintings but to be honest the movie itself looks like a painting too. This trick worked for me as the movie was not too heavy and it was entertaining.. In other words, this film can be a good example how to interest the audience without using guns, aggressive scenes etc. This is about mystery and the way how it is presented by nice long and accurate shots and very impressive music. To be honest I am not the most happy about the ending, unless the second part is planed... 6,5/10 this is how I would judge the overall impression of mine.

Imbued with mystery and ambiguity, this movie allows the spectator to find a reflection of himself in the main character, who gets entangled in a series of unusual events, far from home and surrounded by peculiar group of people. Universal and moving story, gripping plot, well played by international cast. Beautiful, painting-like shots, connoisseurs will appreciate. Well done to the director and writer.
Something different for sure. Maybe also good for Sunday lazy evening. Very nice shots but again, it is light and good to watch. Music and cast are a big plus. The story itself is simple and straightforward not complicated but at the same time, not boring. All I can tell after watching Dominic in this small Italian town is that the set up looked quite scary. The sound did a good job especially during the thunderstorm scenes so if you have a good sound system, it will do the job here. What are your impressions!? I give it 8 for beginning of the movie than it goes down towards 5 but than later the pace picks up again. So the result would be 6 or maybe 7...

Is not a thriller or a crime movie!! I thought it would be more action and it is not. It is more adventure/suspense genre... BUT I got used to this way of telling story. Slowly, slowly showing what it is all about. And it is about passion, mystery, relationships with people that we can never be 100% sure about... I like the piers Paolo. His character is mysterious and very well played imo. This important to say again: it is more adventure, suspense genre!! NOT action movie. I enjoyed it especially now, when the shine is not shinning and it is cold outside. Somehow the atmosphere suits to the world we are living in.
