Killer

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!

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.

This could easily be called the Polish version of "Pulp Fiction" but thank God, it is not. It is captivating from the very get-go, keeping the viewing audience as hostage to the very end. Although unique in style and approach, it is universal and could appeal to any audience, anywhere in the world. Humorous and tastefully prepared.No wonder Hollywood already bought rights to the story. We may see it on this side of the pond. I hope without Bruce Willis or other Hollywood screen "heroes". This story deserves better!

Is is a story of a taxi driver named Jerzy Kiler (Cezary Pazura) who is taken by everyone for a hit-man called the Killer. It's no use for the taxi driver to explain that mistake. Finally, for his own protection, he decides to pretend to be who he was thought to be...

There are many well done jokes in here. The story goes quickly and has its own charm. But there is also a sad reflexion. It is the moment where Polish popular cinema begins to feed on itself. The most characteristic thing about Polish commercial cinema is its resemblance towards the hits signed "made in USA". That pretending looks as false as Jerzy Kiler pretending to be the Killer. Machulski knows about this perfectly and makes fun of it. In one of the funniest scenes Pazura plays in front of the mirror some on-screen characters like "Taxi Driver" or "Leon".

The movie that kills... with laughter.

Undoubtedly, if you are looking to see something different but without taking risks, Kiler is one of the most interesting works I have seen offered by modern Polish cinema in its genre. It will be full of the typical 90s humor that will delight those who see it without expecting to aspire to something remarkable but without many complications. The plot itself is very well written and contains some unexpected twists; the enemies are engaged in an entertaining game of wits rather than gunfire or brute force, the plot moves quickly and has its charm

have a peaceful watch.
