Beat them up
UnknownDoomer26 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Two people from an orphanage make their way up the criminal ladder. One is an experienced courier of prohibited substances. The other is very far from such realities, but out of old friendship, without hesitation, he decides to go to Central Asia, represented here, apparently, by Uzbekistan, in order to deliver a certain package. The mafia, according to the spirit of "perestroika", needs to periodically surrender its "sixes" so that local law enforcement agencies can fulfill the target plan for plantings without arousing suspicion from the increasingly losing power of the center, represented here by an auditor from Moscow. As a result, along the way, the more experienced citizen who suspected something was wrong is sent straight to the another world, and the other for 8 years to places not so remote, from where he, as well as a couple of other colorful comrades, one of whom is an undercover agent, will subsequently have to escape and, having begun while still in the zone, to inflict justice, based, like the hero of the later "Brother" (1997), on rather subjective beliefs about it.

In general, an ordinary, purely criminal story, notable for two facts. The first is far from the most common scene. The second is more or less unpretentious elements of martial arts, which in particular can be used in the narrow passages of a commuter train, which involuntarily evokes associations with old games of the "beat them up" genre. Three heroes successively go through several locations and also successively knock out almost everyone they meet along the way, and in the finale the boss and his minions await them.
