Jak zostalem gangsterem. Historia prawdziwa

This movie is surprisingly good. I didnt expect much when I pressed play. Very good actors and acting. Very good storytelling. I love the music, the roughness and honesty in the movie. The fact that it is based on true events and a true story, makes it even more interesting.

The movie is in polish language, but one get use to that very fast.

It contains a lot of violence, sex, drugs and offensive language, so one must be alright with that.

There is plenty of action, but it also contains a lot of views on what makes us humans, what brings us together and hold us tied together. What is loyalty, friendship and love.

Atmospheric, well balanced and worthwhile. And, not the traditional 'violence and gangsta glorification' movie as we all know a bit too well from titles as & like Pulp Fiction.

We're being told the story of a Polish gangster, first hand. He takes us with him through his very first criminal steps during childhood, when communist Poland was part of the Warschau-pact, up to when he's become a seasoned capo in the 2000's.

Although it is obviously a movie and as usual scenes are therefore a bit romanticised every now and then, the entirety of this movie feels believable. Once it gets really started, the life of the main character enfolds and captivates the viewer. With realistic character development and a great music selection to add to the atmosphere, this movie progresses from a somewhat shallow story at first sight into a really captivating tale. Very well done.

A little gem afaic.

Do watch it, if you're interested in a bro-manship movie, on gangsters, on ethics and human values, on history. It will make you question a lot about the humans involved in this movie and how gray area some things can be and how despite the fact that the protagonist cared about human value, ethics etc he screwed himself up in an unethical business because of the need to feel adrenaline, or become somebody to someone else, the feel to feel important.

If I didn't have to value it among other movies I would put an 8-9, but there are many great movies and the enemy of the great is the greatest.

But this movie is definitely worth your time. I won't spoil anything, I feel you don't need to know much or else it will ruin your experience. I started watching it with the feeling of "are we romanticizing gangsters now? Really?", but it's not what this movie is about.

Watch it with remorse, empathy, value for everybody's lives inside even the ones killed. That way you'll get into the head of the protagonist and the writer(s) behind this movie, start understanding that it's not about romanticizing gangsters, but about humans as a whole, as a species. Try to see the bigger picture, and this movie will feel like an unpolished gem.

Long movie, but it did hold your interest. There were several twists that made you question your perspective for the story line. Expect to see the criminal lifestyle. No doubt this kind of stuff goes on and for the lower level criminals it is likely certain that life is the profoundly lived without certainty. For the foreign movies I've seen this one follows through with the same dinginess. One might think that after the destruction of Poland after WWII there would places in less shambles. The film did depict some housing that was quite nice, the starkness made one question if the difference was that great. Don't think I'd want to watch it again, but the first time through wasn't bad.

This Mafia Film is amazing! It has such a good soundtrack and I've watched it several times aswell! Would highly recommend this to anyone that likes action. It's quite funny too I was at the edge of my seat laughing when I heard wonda asking for a taxi driver to take him to women 😂😂. This film is also quite good if you want to practice learning polish as an English speaker. It's quite good for a 2020 film set in the past as it gives you a sense of polish mafia which nobody really knows about. This film is also based on a true story and you never get to know the main characters name at the end.
