    • Trivia
      Story is based on real events. In 2007, Krystian Bala was sentenced to jail for 25 years for planning and committing the murder of Dariusz Janiszewski, who's body was discovered floating in a lake in Wroclaw in 2000. Clues to the killing were found in Bala's first novel Amok, published three years after Janiszewski's death.
    • Quotes

      Commendant: You can't charge a man with murder for selling a phone. That's not a motive. The judge won't allow it. They need a motive.

      Jacek Sokolski: You read the book! He doesn't need a motive.

      Commendant: Relax, for fuck's sake. The book? I don't give a shit about the book.

      Jacek Sokolski: It's bad. I know.

      Commendant: No. It's useless! It's a false lead.

    Gripping.
    Based on a true story, Amok is a gripping, twisty-turner crime thriller featuring a decidedly creepy turn from Mateusz Kosciukiewicz, as an arrogant author who could also be a murderer, and a typically intense performance from the brilliant Lukasz Simlat as the troubled cop who is out to catch him.
