Giuseppe Sedia Kino Mania Vabank’s lack of originality is compensated for by a charismatic performance from Machulski Sr. Paradoxically, Machulski Jr. instantly became a rebel filmmaker in his homeland by replicating mainstream Hollywood tropes. Rated: 4/5 May 27, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Jan M Absolutely genius movie. All The actors are amazing. Iconic soundtrack and plot are just perfect! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/23 Full Review Audience Member A compelling heist tale mixed with a bit of very sublime comedy makes Vabank a true gem in the Polish film history. Very intriguing plot, Jan Machulski as the perfect leading man, a very suspenseful atmosphere, and an ending that will make your heart race. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Great Polish criminal movie! It's action takes place in October 1934 very quickly spinning out when a known safe-breaker, Kwinto, leaves prison after six years sentence with only one thing on his mind - to take a revenge on a scammer-and-now-a-banker who framed his in. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member The best polish film.! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member The occassionally amusing screenplay of this heist movie is overshadowed by a truly god-awful execution. And there is no way you can possibly believe it takes place in the 30s Poland. Watch "The Sting" instead. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member huhu, ja nie wiedzialam, ze istnieja calkiem fajne polskie filmy gangsterskie. o ile mozna to nazwac gangsterka. bardzo ladnie oddany klimat lat 30tych, bardzo ladna warszawa. ujecie spadajacego pana z okna bylo zupelnie nie jak z polskiego filmu. takie dobre spadania :) scenariusz ciekawy. machulski urosl w mych oczach o jakies 5cm. czemu dopiero teraz ja to obejrzalam, to nie wiem. generalnie nie mam pojecia o pl filmografii. niestety taka jest prawda. czas porzucic szwajcarie i wrocic do polski, gdzie czeka na mnie morze filmow do obejrzenia.juhu. fantastyczny film!
