Justice | Official Trailer | Netflix
Netflix
Set in Poland in the mid 1990's, it's the story of a nasty multiple murder & bank robbery by three good, but not too bright, friends. One of them is some kind of math whiz, but he lacks real-world skills. Supposedly based on an actual crime, but I didn't find any more than that.
Old retired cop is brought back to solve the case. He used to be on the police back when the commies ran the place and there are some old resentments hanging around. Some of those resentments work against him, and some work for him. Halfway through we already know who the culprits are, but the cops are looking for evidence and so far it's pretty thin.
There is one scene, it's just a few seconds long, where the old cop is watching TV and a news broadcast comes on telling us the Marek Kamiński has reached the South Pole. Marek is a real person and he actually reached the South Pole on December 27, 1995. It's got nothing to do with the story, it's just a little gem that got dropped into the script. Also tells us the date.
I've been seeing a bunch of gun misfires recently in TV shows. (A misfire is when gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled.) Sometimes it's a flintlock, which is par for the course, but there's really no excuse if it's a modern weapon. What this tells me is that the characters with the malfunctioning guns have not been properly indoctrinated in the care and feeding of firearms. Or they are infected with group-think that doesn't value such behavior, i.e. 'It's a modern firearm. Just because it's been dragged around in the bottom of a bag full of junk for six months is no reason for concern." Occasionally a guy will find himself in a desperate situation and the only weapon he has is of unknown provenance. In that case a misfire is at least plausible, but when six out of seven thugs all have misfires you know that they have been infected with stupidity.
