Trivia

Goofs
When Attila first meets Kata, she boards the metro at Élmunkás tér (today Lehel tér) towards Árpád híd, but she gets off at Nagyvárad tér, which is to the opposite direction. It's very far from Élmunkás tér and it's impossible that Attila run all the way and got there before the train. He also couldn't know where she is going to get off.

Average crime story told with outstanding direction

The Whiskey Robber tells the story of a cultic bank robber in the '90s of Eastern Europe. It sounds a bit boring? Well, sometimes so is the movie - but luckily you can always find joy in the details. One can only praise the work of Nimród Antal and his crew, they did an exceptional job with turning around a plot that would otherwise settle down outside the action scenes. Superb sounds and music, great cinematography, costumes and locations providing more insight to the story than the conversations. Basically this movie could be about anything - a milkman or an insurance broker - it would still be interesting.
