Un tueur

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.

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".

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!

Without doubt, when it comes to comedies, "Kiler" is one of the best things that modern Polish cinema has to offer. The story of cab driver mistaken for a professional assassin is really hilarious, from his short stay in prison to the surprising ending - we get tons and tons of laughter. Brilliant characters' creation really contributes to that: you will fall about when fat gangster Siara with his redneck mentality or wannabe-Dirty Harry policeman Ryba appear on screen.

The plot itself is very well-written, containing some unexpected twists; enemies deal with each other rather in entertaining game of wits then with shooting or brute force - if I remember correctly, the single actual death in the movie is a result of funny accident with salt container. You wouldn't expect that from a movie about an assassin, would you? ;) Music is great - it is performed by Polish well-known "poetic rock band", Elektryczne Gitary (The Electric Guitars). Their lyrics comment the action of movie in an ironic, sarcastic way; unfortunately, they would be extremely difficult to understand if you're not a native Pole.

All in all, that movie is a must. Correct me if I'm wrong, but no better Polish comedy was ever produced after "Kiler".

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.
