Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

vit-onderka As a Czech I can have a sober perspective on this movie. Petr Jakl did stunts in American movies and is eager to make an American movie of his own. This unfortunately results in some overly dramatic and/or hardly believable moments. Anyway it's true that in 90s after the fall of the communism was our country like wild west full of corrupt cops and whatnot. We may never truly know whether Kajinek really killed someone and it's important to say that this movie is just another European thriller, not a real life story. The quality of the movie is OK, given the fact that it was directed by a former stuntman. The cast is good and if you don't expect a Nolan style quality, you will be somewhat entertained. If you like it, I would recommend you another movie of this era - Sametovi vrazi.

CurtHerzstark Entertaining albeit somewhat flawed crimethriller/biopic loosely based on real life czech gangster Jiri Kajinek.This film starts with a female lawyer(Tatiana Vilhelmová) who starts investigating Kajineks case and quickly realises that not everything is in order.Kajinek (Konstantin Lavronenko)however doesn't really believe in her sincerity and plans his escape from prison.The films biggest flaw is the romanticized depiction of Kajinek and the crimes that he may or not have committed. Also (I suspect) takes a lot of factual liberties of this real life gangsters deeds.However this is expected when watching a movie chronicling a gangsters life.But if you have nothing else to see a Sunday night this film will be the right type of entertainment that you might want to see.According to some sources on the internet (czech version of wikipedia, newspaper articles etc) Kajinek as seen as Robin Hood figure in Czech republic among the public, however it seems very unlikely that he committed these crimes to serve anybody but himself.
