Description

Director of detention, director Nowacki (Janusz Gajos) finds Sergeant Zawada, who is hiding from the world (Robert Więckiewicz). An experienced officer returns to the game and gets a new task - he becomes the commander of the convoy, who is to transport a very dangerous prisoner to a psychiatric hospital. Members of his team are people with a complicated past. Among them is also Feliks (Tomasz Ziętek), full of ideals, privately the husband of Nowacki's daughter (Agnieszka Żulewska), who should never have found himself in a prisoner. The prison director, having lost control of the convoy, chases to repair, and may hide the uncomfortable truth for him. The real purpose of the convoy is slowly coming to light. Conflicts arise between men and tension increases, with unexpected twists every minute. From now on, justice can be done on its own.

Convoy is a gritty Polish crime drama that examines the consequences, of looking, too long, into the void.

Those who spend their time around, indecency, violence, death and corruption, themselves eventually becoming the thing they abhor. Such is the case with members of corrections transport, who believe the prisoner in their charge, has no right to live.

There's no small irony in what unfolds and the end of the story ties the whole disturbing tale together, nicely.

On the subject of which, this is a disturbing film in parts and not one for the sensitive or squeamish.

In summary, darkly gritty, thought provoking, well paced and compelling.
