Kiler (Polish for The Hitman) is a highly successful 1997 Polish comedy by Juliusz Machulski, starring Cezary Pazura, Jerzy Stuhr, Janusz Rewinski and Malgorzata Kożuchowska.
The movie is a story of a taxi driver, named Jurek Kiler, who is mistaken for a notorious mercenary killer by the police.
Seeing the movie's tremendous success in Poland, Hollywood quickly purchased the rights to the movie, with the intention to adapt it for the American market, with Machulski (the original director) as the executive producer. However, nothing of the sort has happened since.
