*SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERS This movie is based on true story that happened in Poland. A powerful district attorney with his friend from Internal Revenue put innocent 3 businessmen in jail on completely false accusations. The DA and his friend from IR wanted to take over the fortune of the successful company . They fabricated evidence of bribe and accused 3 innocent men of being a part of mafia. They destroyed the life of 3 innocent men because of pure greed.
This is not a story of people who were failed by the system . This is the story of the people that were crushed by the representatives of law. This is story that REALLY happened. A story of country where the same system that was supposed to protect people destroys them in the name of law.
The first 30 minutes of movie is rather boring. Thankfully the movie after that gets interesting. The acting is solid and the portrayal of all characters in the movie is far from typical Hollywood black or white morality. The movie lacks the emotional impact of director's Ryszard Bugajski's brilliant movie "Przesłuchanie" ("Interrogation"). It is however a bitter and memorable story that tells a lot about modern Poland. I do recommend however this movie to all viewers . This is also universal story about the flaws of democracy and a warning how easy it is to become moral bankrupt.
I give "Układ zamknięty" 8/10.
