Maciej Slesicki's Sara (1997) is a superficial "action" gangster film, just the type of film that I usually avoid. However, I enjoyed this film very much. It's certainly not a "thought provoking" film in any way, but it has a twisty, innovative storyline that really engaged me. Things didn't turn out the way that I expected as the story unfolded. The storyline is very "tight" and well thought out too, with no unbelievable "coincidences", and no unexplainable "holes" . The cinematography is great, making it a beautiful film to view. A romance developing between a 16 year old girl and a 40 year old man really caught my interest too, especially because it was the teenager that initiated the romance and kept pushing the older man to keep it progressing. The film is a bit of a fairy tale, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
