    La familia

    A well made movie that gives not only a perspective of crime but the way that bonds with the criminals.

    The story is similar to mafia-crime syndicates but it has many modern facts and interesting twists. The main character is fighting his way up to the scale using even his family and close friends to succeed it. All the other characters are unfolding the story in a parallel way with the main character. Although in the beginning they weren't any gun fights, and it seemed to be a not gun killing movie after the middle guns showed up to cleen the path to the top.

    This comes to verify that extreme violence brings power.

    Overall a nice movie, not expected so nice but it really keeps the pace and reaches the end with a pleasant way for all.

    Absolutely amazing movie.

    This movie is surprisingly good. I didnt expect much when I pressed play. Very good actors and acting. Very good storytelling. I love the music, the roughness and honesty in the movie. The fact that it is based on true events and a true story, makes it even more interesting.

    The movie is in polish language, but one get use to that very fast.

    It contains a lot of violence, sex, drugs and offensive language, so one must be alright with that.

    There is plenty of action, but it also contains a lot of views on what makes us humans, what brings us together and hold us tied together. What is loyalty, friendship and love.

    It's a "solid 7" bro-movie based on the history of Polish gangsters. Actors, director, music everything is tied together very nicely

    Do watch it, if you're interested in a bro-manship movie, on gangsters, on ethics and human values, on history. It will make you question a lot about the humans involved in this movie and how gray area some things can be and how despite the fact that the protagonist cared about human value, ethics etc he screwed himself up in an unethical business because of the need to feel adrenaline, or become somebody to someone else, the feel to feel important.

    If I didn't have to value it among other movies I would put an 8-9, but there are many great movies and the enemy of the great is the greatest.

    But this movie is definitely worth your time. I won't spoil anything, I feel you don't need to know much or else it will ruin your experience. I started watching it with the feeling of "are we romanticizing gangsters now? Really?", but it's not what this movie is about.

    Watch it with remorse, empathy, value for everybody's lives inside even the ones killed. That way you'll get into the head of the protagonist and the writer(s) behind this movie, start understanding that it's not about romanticizing gangsters, but about humans as a whole, as a species. Try to see the bigger picture, and this movie will feel like an unpolished gem.

    Best Polish Film I've Seen

    This Mafia Film is amazing! It has such a good soundtrack and I've watched it several times aswell! Would highly recommend this to anyone that likes action. It's quite funny too I was at the edge of my seat laughing when I heard wonda asking for a taxi driver to take him to women 😂😂. This film is also quite good if you want to practice learning polish as an English speaker. It's quite good for a 2020 film set in the past as it gives you a sense of polish mafia which nobody really knows about. This film is also based on a true story and you never get to know the main characters name at the end.

    Worse than a waste of time. Hurts to watch.

    This film is a copy of many others in this genre: first person narrator, crushing amounts of filthy language, slow motion shots, Pulp Fiction-style supposedly funny dialogues between thugs, glamorization of banditry, etc. It portrays a group of individuals with whom it is impossible to sympathize, who do foolish things and use disgusting idiom. I suppose it would hurt less to watch if they didn't use my native language Polish. But they do. This makes it unbearable. The sad thing is that young impressionable youths, who are the typical audience of such productions, easily pick up the same linguistic habits and outlook on life, which turn them into the same class of cultural and moral cripples as the characters of this sorry attempt at film-making.
