Production ,and very cliched portrayals and a russian mob story that ends with a status quo on the human level. its the average acted no big turnout on original ideas, more a reminder that russian mob crime still exists and the recipie for a good payback but it is still too straight forward and easy, so summa summarum...its a time filler. it has though a pretty good scoreline that feels like a clam on your hand all the time, but shootouts and high speed extravaganza is held at a low level. the filmmaker is to me a new name in the feature film league, so as a sophomore in the business it aint bad. they have made a reliable 1990's stamp to the product, not so easy to make these days so heir heir...
so i tend to look for glitches in the storyline and on russian culture and kutyme, so when a proud patriotic russian mobster serves sweedish absolute vodka to his friends ,thats a bummer., you have popov, smirnoff and kalinka and 10s of thousands more brands and you know what... poland has dubrovka and greece has the ouzo, so when did absolut become a sign of russian crime..
but its a timefilling crime action drama, nothing new on the east front in here, but its ålreit entertainment thinks the grumpy old man. dobroveche...
