Man of Iron

In Warsaw in 1980, the Communist Party sends disgruntled radio reporter Winkel to Gdańsk to dig up dirt on the shipyard strikers - particularly on Maciek Tomczyk, an independent labour union leader whose father was killed in the December 1970 protests. Posing as sympathetic, Winkel interviews the people surrounding Tomczyk, including his detained wife, Agnieszka.

  • Amelia Phelps
    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.

  • Emery McClure
    Visually stunning but lacked a compelling storyline. The movie was more style than substance.

    A visual spectacle with an epic storyline. The special effects were mind-blowing.
