    Very funny!

    Now, that's the really funny comedy! What a gang of brilliant Polish stars! All are here - Stuhr, Pazura, Figura, Kondrat! The main hero, Jurek Kiler, a humble taxi driver, gets into a wonderfully twisted plot when he is taken mistakenly for a real killer. And, he takes it quite seriously, and just watch his facial expressions every time he is in some trouble! I especially like the moment when he opens some monument (the Polish president is present - a clever pun on the former leader of the state Mr. Kwasniewski), and then a sniper tries to shoot poor Kiler. As you may guess, nothing comes of it, but what a merry situation! Watch it and have a good time!

    Funniest polish comedy

    This is really the funniest polish comedy...This is a story about a taxi driver named Jerzy Kiler who's misteakly teaken by the Police and also gangsters as a real assasin also called Kiler(Which means the same as english word Killer).You don't need to be a Pole to understand the jokes because this movie is a parody of action movies and gangster movies.If you don't belive it's good I say that hollywood bought a script of this film.Anyway for me "Kiler" is absolutly 9/10

    An excellent spoof of gangster movies.

    A great story about a taxi driver who is mistakenly arrested as a professional killer. The guy's name is ... Kiler, which is a Polish, phonetic equivalent of English killer. The media, police and the public make the guy famous. And... you need to see it to find out about the ending. It's a good story, with romance, suspense and surprise. Have fun.

    one of the best comedy movies I have ever seen.

    What can I say, if you live in Poland and you have not watched this movie yet, it is hard for me to call you Polish. The way of telling the story, twists and turns, the level of acting, WOW.

    One of the best comedies I've ever seen!

    I will recommend to watch this film if it's possible for YOU! The fable is maybe a bit like in all american action films, but in my opinion much much better! The dialogues are funny and sometimes have two meanings, the actors are great; especially Jerzy Stuhr as "Ryba" which means fish, and Cezary Pazura as "Kiler".
