Entanglement 2011
Synopsis
There are secrets which cannot be hidden in a bank safe. Secrets too terrible to ever come to light... What should possibly happen to transform an ordinary man into a killer? Is it possible to kill in a semi-hypnotic trance and not to remember a thing the next morning? If there is a victim, a perpetrator must also be somewhere around. In this film adaptation of the best-selling crime novel by Zygmunt Miłoszewski, the killer is tracked down by the cynical detective Smolar and the uncompromising female prosecutor Agata Szacka. The duo forms an explosive mixture, not only due to their temperaments, but also the love affair they had in the past. Szacka, in the course of the most challenging in her career investigation, touches upon the stories circulating for years as legends, which no one expected might be true. Do the secrets hidden for years come to light by accident, or maybe they are cleverly controlled by someone? And who took over the Department D files containing embarrassing secrets of the people who make the front pages of the newspapers?
The latest thriller directed by Jacek Bromski keeps you in suspense until the very last scene. It turns out that information is the most powerful of weapons, whereas the knowledge of human weaknesses may be the best life insurance policy.
"Entanglement" is a film that speaks loudly about subjects some find too scary to touch even in whisper.
