It was very intriguing watching a new movie produced by the famous Konchalovsky (Runaway Train, Tango and Cash)
The first 15 minutes are interesting, then trouble begins: ridiculous dialogs, unreal situations etc... Inconsistent, unrealistic plot made in superficial picture of post-Soviet Russia. It looks like tabloid-quality scenario with same ridiculous "bad" and "good" guys...
The main character appears being bored, just trying to fight his sleep throughout most of his appearances. The soundtrack is OK.
Movies like Moskva, Gruz 200, Bumer seem to be infinitely more subtle in giving a portrait of the Russian past and of the reality without being naive or politically engaged. Really very disappointing.
