Escape Artist par Excellence

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...

Or one armed jack, the polish ''gjest baardsen'' edition of the true crime world. Yes and gjest baardsen was the norwegian edition and together with ole hoiland the breakout kings in my countrys crime world, and they are both filmatized, in black and white unfortunately, but the films are fab's and highly recommended.This polish glorification of a petty crime(measured in 2022 crime world) culprit has been made very well on the time stamp, its an action filled nonstop action made pretty hollywoodlic style, with split screens and ultra slow motion on the most critical parts, if you like old car models from the 80's this is a gold chest, theyve made a pretty good soundtrack, but the acting is merely what you expect outta a film this kind.Its never boring, the comedy inbetween, and the use of irony towards the police force may make the poles polish the floor from laughter cramps, and gave me a smile here and there. So if you want some true crime stories from behind the iron curtain, or the warsawpact era, its a recommend, the grumpy old man knows that 2 mill zloty aint that lot of money, but its worth a watch.

It was fun

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.
