Summary: The first million is made by cheating
Review: Pierwszy Milion (First Million) is an action/drama film about three friends that scheme to become wealthy. Friends since childhood, Freak, Kurtz (Jacek), and Piki (Fatso) always had the idea of becoming wealthy and worked on ways of becoming so. At the opening of the Polish stock exchange, they decide to make their million there. The friends get into trouble when they get inside information on the buys/sells of a wealthy and powerful man (Kajzar) that never seems to loose money. When Kajzar finds out, the trio's lives become endangered. Freak and Kurtz also compete for the attention of Dominika, who they have been competing for since childhood (Piki isn't interested in Dominika as he works the other side of the tracks).

The story was pretty interesting and it was an OK film. The film would have been much better if more attention was placed on the story and less on indecency (sex scenes). I would have preferred not to see the three men's butts as well. Although there isn't a lot of nudity in the film, there are enough sex-related scenes to give the film an "R" rating by American standards.

Pierwszy Milion (1998) is a Polish film directed by Waldemar Dziki. The film is 98 minutes in length. There are English subtitles for those that do not understand Polish. There are some cameos by famous Polish actors such as Zbigniew Zamachowski (it almost seems like he is in more Polish films than Boguslaw Linda), Artur Zmijewski, and Olaf Lubaszenko.
