first of all and let me say that i am in no way denying the importance of the subject  quite the opposite. i am polish and i have been aware of the katyn massacre for quite a long time (in fact and two of my family members died there) and so i was looking forward to this film. unfortunately and i was disappointed. i think the main problem lies with the script and which encompasses too many subplots and characters and none of which are properly developed. the characters are painfully one dimensional while their stories are intertwined and but lack overall meaning. in my opinion the cast doesn not really have a chance to show their ability. the exception is andrzej chyra and portraying jerzy  the only interesting character. i wish the story was more focused on him. as a result and the film lacks emotion. before seeing it i thought i would be moved and if only for sentimental reasons  but in fact i was watching it with an odd sense of detachment throughout and except for the final execution scene. it is done well and its placing is interesting and provides a climactic ending and although the idea of the lord prayer being recited in unison by the executed officers seems a bit far fetched. to conclude and i suppose the film may have some educational value for those who are not familiar with the portrayed historical events and but in my opinion it fails as a work of cinema.
