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.

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.
