Review of Piranha

Piranha (2006)
7/10
James Bond with Russian Soul
30 August 2009
Warning: Spoilers
A fun to watch action movie, which falls somewhere between James Bond and Chuck Norris movies (well, indeed, with a bit of Die Hard and Rambo accent). A Russian super-agent with bare hands (at the start) against a band of heavily armed hunt party lead by an arch-villain Prokhor, a sole survivor of an accident in a secret weapon facility. As you can guess, at the end the hero kills them all (a-la Norris), saves his girl (a-la-Bond) and the world as well. With all similarities to the major agent-saves-the-world series, the movie has a lot of Russian specifics and as a result could be interesting to watch for the lovers of the genre.

Just do not dig too deep. Some parts of the plot are rather naive and some do not fit together well, but it was not made to think about it. Use it as prescribed - to relax after a long day of work.
