It's one of the most original films you'll likely see all year, which, depending on your threshold for certifiably crazy storylines, could be a rewarding experience or one that frustrates you.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

If you are like me, and have found yourself searching for hours upon hours for decent movies and have finally found some really GREAT ones in the Asian and Danish markets then you may like this movie. I LIKE subtle. I like dark. I dont like happy candyland flossy foo foo endings. I LIKE slow burners and characters that are shown with duality and characters shown like REAL people....Jim Carrey did a superb job and all of the actors backed him up with some good performances. The editing could of made some better choices, but it didnt ruin the movie Camera work and soundtrack was well done and appropriate for this movie genra. Some people complained about Jim Carrey whispering a lot. I never had a problem hearing him and I am hard of hearing. It was part of the character that he portrayed and portrayed excellently. He didn't even WALK like Carrey and often times I forgot that it was Carrey. The ending was AWESOME and un expected. I do not recommend this to the average audience. Please. Just skip it. Don't go ahead and watch it if it doesn't sound like your cup of tea then bash it. AGAIN. Reviewers seem to rate according to their tastes and not according to the work performed. I don't prefer action movies, so I don't watch them and then get pissy and call it a terrible movie. Just doesn't seem FAIR. This was a well made movie that I am sure will remain under rated.

While Jim Carrey may not have much dialogue, the entire movie is lacking dialogue, narration and really anything to keep one interested. Because I sadly purchased the Jim Carrey Movie I forced myself to watch it but it took an entire week for me to finish it. Now it is a decorative disc hanging in my backyard tree to keep the birds at bay. Lol. Don't waste your time or money.

I've watched some horrible movies in my life. None worse than this. No other film I can recall so efficiently combines poor acting, shifting, ridiculous accents, sexual content as pointless as it is tasteless, and so poorly communicated and dull a plot. Do yourself a massive favor and steer clear of this steaming dung pile.

Disgraced Polish Officer Tadek (Jim Carrey) wants to investigate the murder of a slain policeman to prove himself as he had botched a previous investigation. He is so obsessed with this case that he ignores his family. He finds similarities between the murder and details found in author Krystov Kozlov's (Marton Csokas) novel because the details of the actual murder were never released to the public, but Tadek sees them in the novel. He believes he has his man.This will be very slow going. In the beginning, we see a lot of nudity when scenes are shown in the sex club that Koslov goes to from time to time. After those scenes we no longer see any frontal nudity. . Talking about a sex club where girls were also tortured would have sufficed, but the Director wanted more. See?There are very few dialogues throughout especially from Tadek. As Tadek, Carrey uses a Polish accent, but I have heard better as he does it with almost no accent. Not good. And Carrey as Tedak sports a beard that makes him almost unrecognizable. I did wish that Carrey as TAdek spoke more about the case so we knew what he was thinking. Didn't happen too often.The two main characters alongside Carrey are excellent. There is Charlotte Gainsbourg as Kasia, who is Kozlov's girlfriend; and then there is Marton Csokas as Koslov and he gives off a such commanding presence, I kind of wished he was the good guy. I have always said that comedians have timing down perfectly when they go into drama. Jim Carrey has that in here. Kudos. There will be 2-twists later on. The first one almost surprised me, but the last one caught me completely by surprise. Will it surprise you? (7/10)Violence: No.
Sex: Yes.
Nudity: Yes.
Humor: No.
Language: Yes.
