Najmro: Kocha, kradnie, szanuje

As a Pole raised abroad, it's completely understandable to me when people judge post-soviet filmmaking on it's dissimilarities to western media, but this movie recreates an iconic time in Polish history in it's full truth. The set design and character costumes are beautiful reproductions of Soviet Poland, and the movies subtle references to the time period through architecture, interiors, props, language and even the use of fonts make the movie a genuine treat to watch.

Najmro is a cunning crime/heist film that utilises techniques from the 1980's it portrays in its production in genius ways - the use of lighting in all scenes, the convoluted and minimal dialogue and the films iconic soundtrack are a treat to watch and I personally feel sorry for all non-poles unable to enjoy it in its true original.

This film NSFW and not family friendly. Don't watch with your kids, sex scenes are the only downer in this movie, totally unnecessary.

That said, this is a cool little movie, amusing and entertaining.

Every once in a while it's nice to watch a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. "The Getaway King" was one of those movies. I appreciated the humor, the soundtrack, and the overall vibe of the movie. Honestly, I thought it had a very "Ocean's Eleven" type of feel and rhythm to it. It was cool, it was entertaining, and it was easy to watch.

It was fun, funny, thoughtful (at times), and easy to watch. It's an interesting story told at exactly the right pace. The main character was likeable, the situations were funny, and the acting was good enough.

Most of the Polish movies and TV I've watched on Netflix have had a gloominess about them. This one was a definite departure from that trend. I think it's worth your time.

For a foreigner, watching a movie about Poland's well-known escape artist in the dying days of communist Poland is a curiosity.

But beyond this, it's an average movie with the obligatory car chase, pursuing detectives and love story.

A funny movie, well directed and very good actors. The story doesn't follow strictly the real events, but you must appreciate the mood which is present.
