Brakýři

A thematically strong TV play about the origins of organized crime in the United States. Similar organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and others were created in a similar manner. It's well-cast, with Jiří Bartoška playing a funeral home owner who sends approximately half of his clients to the other side himself, portraying a truly chilling character. On the other hand, Petr Haničinec belongs to the founding elite of an organization that fails to realize society is evolving, and organized crime must adapt to these changes. Overall impression: 75%. The chilling conclusion suggests that the fight against the octopus will never end. (29.03.2010)
