Don't listen to the negative reviews

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I'm Russian and for me it was very interesting to watch this show. Vinnie Jones in my country - it sounded really interesting. My first thought was that it will be some kind of set up, but it wasn't - there were real people who just do their job and Vinnie Jones, doing his best when he had been put in some tough places with tough people.I thought it will be show about famous foreigner in Russia, but it wasn't the only thing - I've seen some new places and sides of my own country!Inspite of fear or facing some, maybe unusual for foreigner, Russian traditions Vinnie Jones tried to do everything he could when he had to catch the dear, face a bear and live through all these professions, which are not easy at all.Great show, I've enjoyed it.8 out of 10

Being Russian myself, I could pretty easily estimate amount of 'cheesy' factor in that documentary. All in all - while the picture of actual WORK or its environment might be OK, the narrative and the tone of the story told is way off reality. The translation (both to and from Russian) is mediocre at best; I wonder how much of the faults of this flick are because of poor interpreter's work.It's not too far from standard 'bears-balalaika-sputnik' cliché. Pity. If you want more accurate picture of what Russia actually is (and how tough it might get at times), I _highly_ recommend another documentary called Long Way Round (2004) with brilliant Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman.
