      Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Dawid Ogrodnik is a Polish Errol Flynn, fit, handsome, suave, dashing, and smiling... The actor's overwhelming likability fuels a story that probably wouldn't work without him. Rated: 3/5 May 19, 2022 Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider A visual treat, and a fun ride through its version of Communist-era Poland. May 17, 2022 Full Review Ricardo Gallegos La Estatuilla A classic example of style over substance: to remedy all the narrative deficiencies, Rakowicz tries to distract through a striking aesthetic. [Full Review in Spanish] May 13, 2022 Full Review Kira Comerford Ready Steady Cut This is a fascinating and charming Polish true crime biography, following a truly magnetic individual who wasn’t quite a modern-day Robin Hood but seems to have been pretty close to it, at least in his home country Rated: 4/5 May 11, 2022 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation In Polish with subtitles, or dubbed into English, “The Getaway King” is a thoroughly charming rogue packed into a perfectly entertaining caper comedy. Rated: 3/4 May 11, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      Kate G Absolutely brilliant movie from the very start. Funny, witty. Great main character performance. I haven't watched a movie with such a pleasure in very long time. 100% recommend. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/23 Full Review ML C This was fun. I love a caper. And 80s riffic too Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/20/23 Full Review Mateusz C Najmro tries to balance between Polish and American action style, it lands somewhere between but its hard to say where exactly Also movie fails at portraying communist Poland Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review Andrzej W An aesthetically pleasing film that beautifully tells the not so well known story of the Polish king of getaways. Great cast, especially the charismatic Dawid Ogrodnik, who played Najmro perfectly. Love the atmosphere and music. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/07/23 Full Review avindu g Getaway King is an ecstatic movie treat. A genuine performance by the stars. Visuals rich with colour and retro styled fx is a feast for the eyes. Audio is mood setting and full of spirit. As heartwarmin it maybe a deep societal read is cleverly embedded in story. An excellent work by production in picturing the contrast of eras. A radical statement about a class that evolved while a species devolved. A species spoiled by the yield of Najmros. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It has many disadvantages of present Polish cinematography trying to describe communist Poland, it happened to me to roll eyes several times. Nevertheless all these not perfect elements set up as quite a watchable movie. I remember real Najmrodzki and his famous escapes, it lifts up my rating a bit. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
