Goofs

Miscellaneous: Near the beginning of the film, Burakov, a forensic scientist, is peering through a microscope. The mirror for reflecting light is under his chest, blocking the light. The microscope is always used with the mirror away from the body, so light reflected from the mirror can illuminate the specimen from underneath. See more »

Quotes

Burakov: A man is what he fights for.
Fetisov: I don't fight for anything.
Burakov: I know.
