    Totally cool gangster flick...

    This Polish gangster movie is as slick as any American effort. Lots of violence, and one of the sexiest couplings ever. Boguslaw Linda is very cool as Leon, the alcoholic Commando who gets a job as a body guard to Agnieszka Wlodarczyk's gorgeous Sara, the daughter of Jozef the mob boss. Leon's and Sara's relationship is handled cleverly, from meeting through to the apocalyptic ending. Not a movie for everyone, especially the love interest between Leon and Sara (he's 40, she's 16), and some of the scenes are a bit flaky (a tango in a Chinese restraunt???), but it's 110 minutes of action, and that's good enough.

    Can't wait to see this again.

    stunning!

    I really don't understand why this film hasn't become a huge block buster.It is simply the most beautiful, original, and highly intelligent film. Boguslaw Linda (Leon) shines through as the alcoholic bodyguard and his original and snappy dialogue is exquisite. Go buy it, watch it, whatever! Just make sure you see it!!!!!

    an obscure classic

    Why haven't I heard of this movie before? I happened to catch it on late night television simply because the video I had hired turned out to be unsatisfactory, and I am glad for that. This movie was highly entertaining as an action movie, and rather daring regarding the love theme.

    Highly recommended

    great

    Very engaging movie involving a super cool body guard and a very beautiful girl. And they gradually became underground lovers but the girl's father, who is somewhat a gangster boss discovered their relationship and tried everything to stop them. So you got the idea.

    Alot of actions and sex scenes in the movie. This is a MUST see for entertainment lovers.

    Very enjoyable adult fairy tale

    I really enjoyed this movie because it was well acted, full of suspense and tapped into basic fairy story themes. An essentially simple story is well told and the character development is Shakespearean in its subtlety and in its insights into human nature. I would buy this on video or DVD if it becomes available.

    • Trivia
      To appear nude in this movie, Agnieszka Wlodarczyk, who was 15-years-old during filming, needed the consent of her mother Anny Stasiukiewicz. She was her who persuaded her daughter to play in the film and to begin her career in show business. "My mother led me to the castings when I was still a child. I wanted to sing, play, so that everything would revolve around me. I think I wanted to be famous. (...) Mom always walked on high heels and in mini. When I was 14 years old, she told me to dress like that", the actress said.
