Review of Prague

Scam City: Prague (2012)
Season 1, Episode 1
2/10
A scam about scams
11 December 2013
First and foremost, there is hard evidence that many if not all the scams shown in the movie are staged. For example, Eurotaxi, used in the document as an example of taxi overpricing in Prague, went bankrupt in 2011, a year before the show was created. For more details see Wikipedia. Although, some scams show in the movie are well known to anyone living in Prague, some feel very strange and out of place.

All in all, this movie is certainly not a documentary neither a guide, its most dramatic moments are staged and the confessions of the scammers are almost laughable. If you're looking for advice, spend 2 minutes reading your favorite travel guide rather than watching this work of fiction that pretends to be real.
