Dreadfully Boring

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Blistering performances.

American professor goes to Moscow to track down the lost treasure of the Templar Knights. In order to finance his trips he is a street racer on the side. getting hooked up with a Russian street racer the professor has to fend off rival experts, the police and a drug dealing gang in order to find his treasure. Okay action film has a near top billed David Carradine and Sherilyn Fenn barely appearing. The star of the film is actually Steven Brand who hooks up with Alexander Nevsky to chase down the secret treasure. The action is good, the racing far. The performances work in a mindless popcorn sort of way. As import action films go this is worth watching should you come across it on cable. I wouldn't go out of my way to track it down, but I would sit and watch if I saw it cable.

There are worse movies than this one but not many. This was like something the TV stations refused to show. The characters were illogical, the plot wasn't believable at all and the whole thing felt like the director was desperately trying to throw in bits from successful movies and TV series to make something great. Well he failed. The worst thing though was the way some of the key elements of the film were displayed. For example, the way the whole Russian culture, way of life and how their law enforcement and intelligence organizations work was so badly reflected that it was embarrassing to watch. The two main male characters were both poorly written with their mixed and contradicting behavior. The female characters were were poorly chosen and their acting was terrible. The only good actor in this film was the old man form kill bill -movie. I can't help to wonder why in the world would be want to be in a film like this one?Even though the effects and other stuff in this movie looked like they didn't cost an arm and a leg, I still hope the people behind this complete waste of time lost all their money on this film so they won't be making another any time soon.

If you want to waste your time, this is the one for you. Very bad acting. poor dialog delivery, stupid action scenes (if you have ever watched any Jackie-Chan movie, OK forget Jackie Chan, Steven Seagal! OK forget Seagal, Chuck Norris! OK forget Norris, any other American/Chinese/hongkong action movie, you will wonder what is going on here!), idiotic expressions at times. Only one villain is worth watching who survives at the end! He reminded me of Mickey Rourke(Marv) in Sin City.I watched this movie because someone had given very good feedback (someone who wants to make money!!) and the actor 'Alexander Nevsky' is considered hero in his country. After reading his profile, I liked him for not depicting Russian as bad guy as he refused few offers to act in blockbuster movies! But he is destroying the Russian reputation by being a bad actor. He is a bodybuilder alright, but it's the acting, which counts, not just the body!! Schwarzenegger or The Rock would not have done so well if they had acted poorly.I want my money back. Although I watched it for free, It was still not worth my time!

Don't waste any time off your already precious life on this.Pathetic at best and I'm being generous is the only way to describe this D grade attempt at a movie.The attempt at acting and the Russian/American accents were terrible. Story line is so cheesy. A professor of history who is drag racing treasure hunter searching for the treasure of the Knights Templar. It is what it is and it is definitely bad. If hope my comments save's someone from watching this. The best part of this movie was turning it off and it didn't take long.
