Król dopalaczy climbs Prime Video rankings in Poland

The Polish film ‘Król dopalaczy’ (King of Legal Highs) has seen a surge in popularity on Prime Video, reaching the top three in the platform's local rankings. The production, which follows a true story of a man building an empire through legal stimulants, initially faced poor reception during its theatrical release in early 2026.

Critics gave the film a rating of 3.5/10, while audiences averaged 5.0/10. Despite these low scores, the film has found a second life through streaming. The story is often compared to ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ due to its depiction of rapid wealth, luxury, and eventual downfall.

The film features notable performances, including Jan Frycz, who portrays the gangster Gewera. While the film received mixed reviews, Frycz’s performance has been highlighted as a significant element of the production.
