    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!

    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.

    Lots of action with funny twists

    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!

    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".

    Very funny if you're Polish, but still entertaining if you're not !

    This is typical Polish humor. The movie is about a man who is accused of murder with no real evidence except for his name, which happens to be Jurek Kiler. He gets himself into a much deeper situation throughout the movie. There are several real funny lines in the movie, but I doubt they are quite as funny when translated into English. Jerzy Stuhr, arguably Poland's greatest actor, plays the lead detective and anything he says is funny. In Polish comedies the humor is not so much in what is said, but how it is said. The humor for the most part comes from the ironic tones and facial expressions of the actors. For those who are not familiar with Polish film history the first, and for a long time only, film making academy was in Poland. Many of the camera crews, set directors, and props directors from Hollywood were actually educated at this Polish institute. I hope you enjoy the film. Cheers.
