A well-written crime drama set in an unconventional environment. The walking charisma known as Vladimír Ráž investigates a murder that happened in the Komořany mine, Michal Pavlata gives an excellent performance, and many scenes are chilling thanks to the black and white picture and Fišer's music... And the revelation of the killer at the end is really unexpected and nicely suspenseful.__P.S.

The capitalist’s smile frozen, our wagons are full of coal! Given the time of its creation, agitation might have been expected, but no such luck. Here, it’s all about jealousy, suffering, and investigating a murder in an open-pit mine and the subsequent removal of a witness. It’s as heavy as a mining excavator, with a superficial attempt at psychology, and somewhere in the middle, it is interrupted by a melancholic song by Karel Zich. No offense, but the first one to be detained should have been Vladimír Ráž's comrade captain, as he clearly raided Inspector Clouseau’s wardrobe.
