Richard Brzostek - 06/08/2009 
Crown Witness (Swiadek Koronny) is a suspenseful tale of a mobster telling his story to filmmakers making a crime documentary. Jan 'Blacha' Blachowski (Robert Wieckiewicz) was once an influential gangster that didn't do any of the dirty work but orchestrated it; now, he lives under police protection because he brought down many of his associates. Marcin, with his camerawoman Iwona, questions Blacha and slowly bring out the emotional story. We see how he lived and what happened to make him want to get out of the business.
There is more than one layer to the story. Although the focus is learning about our star witness, we also slowly learn about our filmmakers. Between their nonverbal communication and their short dialogues with each other we quickly get the idea there is much more to the story. Undoubtedly, what we learn about them is just as moving.
The acting in Crown Witness is great and for those who are into Polish films, it is bound to have at least a couple of your favorite. The assortment of famous Polish actors in the supporting roles includes Malgorzata Foremniak, Krzysztof Globisz, Artur Zmijewski, and Andrzej Grabowski, to name a few.
Crown Witness has some great action and drama so it will probably even keep your picky father-in-law awake. Although the movie contains shooting and violence, the story is really about people so it may even appeal to those who aren't particularly fond of action films. If you are looking for an action/suspense/mobster film, Crown Witness is for you. |
