I suppose, looking at 70's Polish detective work through the lens of 2020's technology, makes the investigators in I'm A Killer (Jestem Morderca) seem inept, like a European version of the Keystone Kops. There's just no way their constant bumbling and fumbling of crime scenes could be that profound. Yet, there it was, shown in all its noir glory.
Many of the characters in I'm A Killer were unlikable buffoons, but I'm guessing that was purposeful, perhaps meant to show just how weak evidence gathering was, causing people who may be innocent to get to death row.
At times, the pacing was snail-slow. Still, was it a watchable film? Maybe. If you miss it, no biggie. If you do catch it, just know it's not the highly rated experience some reviewers say it is.
