Major Grom: The Game is a Russian action flick directed by Oleg Trofim. It's another full-length movie inspired by BUBBLE Comics' Major Grom series and serves as a direct sequel to 2021's Major Grom: Plague Doctor.
A year has gone by since Major Grom took down the Plague Doctor. St. Petersburg is back on its feet, Sergey Razumovsky is in a psychiatric hospital, and Igor Grom has become the city's hero. Life is pretty sweet for Grom: he's a local celebrity, teaming up with his buddy Dima Dubin to catch bad guys during the day, and enjoying nights out at the bar with friends-or cozying up with his gorgeous girlfriend, journalist Yulia Pchelkina.
But this peaceful vibe doesn't last. Lieutenant General Maria Arkhipova (Olga Sutulova) comes in from Moscow with plans to shake up the Saint Petersburg police, aiming to swap out the staff for high-tech security drones, thanks to international arms dealer August van der Holt (Matvey Lykov). To top it off, a mysterious new terrorist known as The Ghost shows up in the city, turning everything upside down!
The cinematography is solid, and the fight scenes are well choreographed, but the film drags on a bit. At times, the pacing falters, making it feel like we're starting over. Honestly, one watch was more than enough!
