Najmro: Kocha, kradnie, szanuje

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.

The story of zgz, a man known for his daring getaways is an interesting one. A genrally good cast and I thought the plot flowed well. Its pretty cool seeing the creative ways he makes escapes along with his crew. Not much else to say really. It was just a good crime film and pretty enjoyable with a couple laughs and and ending I didn't see coming.

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.

The Getaway King/ Najmro is a stylish, fast-moving comic crime-caper that is based on a true story and set in '80s Poland. Directed by Mateusz Rakowicz, and written by Rakowicz and Lukasz M. Maciejewski, The Getaway King positively fizzes and sparkles like a freshly corked bottle of champagne! There is a really strong sense of time and place - Pewex, the psychotic Pruszkow mob - and some cracking performances. Dawid Ogrodnik as Zdzislaw 'Najmro' Najmrodzki, a slick criminal who escaped from police custody no less than 29 times - is roguish charm itself, and the ever- excellent Robert Wieckiewicz plays the grizzled, world- weary cop hell-bent on hunting down Najmro with aplomb. A special mention should also be made of Dorota Kolak's splendid turn as Najmro's irascible mother. All in all, The Getaway King is a smashing film and well-worth checking out.
