Sara (Poland, 1997)



I really didn't understand the gunfight amidst the aquariums. Could they not see each other through the glass, or did the water distort what they saw? Would the water have stopped the bullets? In the credits, they said that no fish were harmed in the making of the movie, but I'm not sure I trust them.

Made in Poland, released in 1997. An organized crime boss hires an alcoholic ubermensch as bodyguard for his teenage daughter. The bodyguard soon begins sleeping with her.

Remember how people thought The Blue Lagoon was probably good for young people because it showed that sex will get you pregnant? The same thing here. Probably more a warning to middle aged alcoholic men.

Too many people got killed in this thing. In one sequence, some men are sent to beat up the alcoholic. They kill his father, he kills a couple of them, but they're careful to only beat him up a little and not shoot him.
