    Worst Movie of Netflix

    I have seen many movies and tv series on Netflix platform. Some of them were great and some of them were bad but this movie is the worst movie of all time that was aired on Netflix platform. This is not a family movie or an adventure movie. Very bad acting, very bad story and disastrous ending. In addition to all of these, very bad camera that can cause trouble to your eyes. The most funny thing is that there is so called Argentinian treasure hunter who speaks natively Polish and using some traditional Spanish phrases for the audience to believe that he is from Argentina. This is a very bad copy of Indiana Jones and National Treasure series. Stay away !

    Forgettable But Not Awful

    It's a low-budget mashup of National Treasure and Super-8 featuring plucky kids who insert themselves into a dangerous treasure hunt. Plot holes abound and everything is relatively low-stakes. The one character that gets developed has his arc telegraphed from the outset. The story is both familiar and instantly forgettable. Nevertheless the movie is affable enough, with a breezy tone, PG-13 action and feel-good resolution. It's an enjoyable enough diversion if you're prepared not to take it too seriously. The cast generally do a good job with what they're given and the pace, direction and editing are all decent.

    A new take on an old story

    I do not get the low ratings. This is a family movie, that indeed completely strays from the plot from the book, but is nevertheless a lot of fun to watch. The actors are great, the kids starring in the movie did a fantastic job, there is a lot of action, jokes and fun all around. I watched it with my three kids, ages from 10 to later teens, and they enjoyed this immensely. I think that all the bad reviews might stem from the PRL nostalgia of the older generation, or from the core fans of the book series. Do not be put off by them and give this movie a try. I would personally rate this as 9, but my kids, who are the real target here, regard this as a sure 10, so 10 it is.

    Sad but a waste of time

    The movie has absolutely nothing to do with the book other than the name itself. Another good story wasted by Netflix.

    A series of books describing the adventures of Tomasz, an art historian, tracker of smugglers and thieves of national treasures. He was called Mr. Samochodzik in connection with the vehicle he drove. He inherited it from his uncle, who built a ridiculous body covering the wonderful Ferrari 410 engine and equipped this ridiculous structure with many interesting and useful inventions of his own invention. Tomasz's friends help scouts in solving puzzles. Nienacki's books are one that is read with bated breath. In addition, they develop great respect for Polish monuments and history.

    Movie that have nothing in common with series of cult books

    Big disappointment. Pan Samochodzik (Mr. Car) has a cult status in Poland. Series of books written by Zbigniew Nienacki in 60-70s are great adventure-treasure hunter stories. Still very popular. This one is the second in the series. What is worst for someone who read the book it's completely different story. Main character is like mix of James Bond or Langdon from Da Vinci code when in books he was more like Caine's Harry Palmer/Rathbone's Holmes. Additionally his car is a joke. It should be wreck with Ferrari superamerica engine. For Polish fans of book there's always great old series from 1971.

      The film is set in the 70s, but the photographers at the press conference are equipped with modern cameras and flash lights, from the 90s and later.
