Plot
October 1934. Poland. Famous bank robber Kwinto decided to quit his dangerous criminal job, but after his friend's death, he changed his mind and organized a burglary of famous and well protected bank which belonged to his former partner in crime, backstabbing and double-crossing Kramer. Kwinto designs a clever plan not to only rob the Kramer's bank but to make it look like Kramer himself did it.
Sinekatalog’s take
A veteran safecracker returns for one elaborate revenge job against a treacherous former partner. The plan is neat, the humor dry and the period setting stylish. A beloved Polish heist comedy that holds up as a charming caper.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
