I still remember finding a big envelope in my mailbox that was half peeking out. I had no idea what it was. When I opened it, there was a book inside. Jaroslav Kmenta Padrino Krejčíř. A book that wasn't on the shelves yet, because it wasn't due out officially for a few weeks. Inside was a little note that said: "Good luck! Jaroslav Kmenta" and a page with "Dedicated to my name". I couldn't believe it. I read the book in one go and it is still one of the most interesting things that happened to me. Then when a movie was made based on the book, I knew I had to see it. And it was quite good, even though it has its flaws. Of course, it speeds up events incredibly and suffers from other classic Czech movie problems like the weird studio voiceover used here. Hynek Cermak, however, plays Radovan decently, even though Krejcir looks completely different in real life. Krejčíř's story is worth knowing. It's a crazy version of a mafioso unparalleled in the Czech Republic. But I would watch the movie only after you read the books, because then you will understand how crazy this whole thing was.
