The film is noted for its stylish, vibrant aesthetic that contrasts with the typically "gray" depiction of communist Poland. While it captures the adventurous spirit and famous escapes of the real Najmrodzki, critics note it leans more toward "sexy fun" and cinematic flair rather than a strictly biographical account of the darker realities of his life in the 1990s.
