Load of rubbish!!

Absolutely Fantastic

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Since Russian cinematography had no directors as Andy Sidaris or Fred Olen Ray, the spectators plank of quality where still high after Soviet period. But steps to total decadence were made long before this movie.At the filming movie about the crusaders, in Turkey, with one of the stunts died in accident. Death of a stuntman was rigged by criminals, who smuggled a large shipment of drugs in the coffin. Producer Anton (Pyotr Zaychenko) is killed, money stolen. Film due to lack of funding dismantled for commercials. Stuntman Sasha Konov (Aleksandr Inshakov), realizing that it was all a trick, saves Olga (Olga Kabo), wife of Anton from Caucasian gang members and is associated with a thief Slava "Goner" (Valeri Priyomykhov). Sasha tells Slava that after the arrival of their stunt crew the price of drugs go down in the city. Olga feels that Anton is actually alive, Slava and Konov also aware of it. Konov hiding in an abandoned construction site, but get captured with Olga by "fresh resurrected" Anton. Knowing that Konova not gonna be let out alive, Anton tells him where to put the money. Suddenly a thieves arrived, led by a Slava and Caucasians. In the fierce battle everybody (the criminals) are dying, Slava finds an Anton wounded, but he undermines himself with a grenade and now everybody dead. Konov and Olga got successfully escape. Konov get shot his film (about Crusaders) to the end, and drive away from the sunset (!) on Lamborghini LM002 with his girlfriend (widow of his ungrateful friend).I've heard about this movie for years while they are make it. I thought it would be good piece of action. But this is disappointedly average piece of something other. Chases pretty boring, "classic" red point sniper scene, some explosions. Wooden performance by Olga Kabo, i don't need no nude scene of her if she could act better. But, hell, this is 90s!! They just must to made a sex scene...There's a interesting aspect of movie is Inshakov's cars (Lambo 002 and Mercedes) but they was shown not really long time and not in chase scenes. And at least movie makers try to represent main character as good guy, not scumsucker (as in Brigada few years later). But movie is still weak. I think the "Risk bez contrakta" with bit similar plot, is much better.
