It starts sympathetically, but it doesn't last long. Jaromír Hanzlík probably won't put this villain in a frame, but his fans might not curse him, because they most likely won't even recognize him, and also the main young heroes (although likable) are kind of bland. Only Lukáš Vaculík, Jitka Ježková and Táňa Pauhofová act somewhat interestingly. The idea of weapons vs. knowledge was good, but it probably needed to add more humor. (24/12/2016)
