Russian B-movie, 30 June 2004
5/10
Author: George Parker from Orange County, CA USA

Telling of the rise and fall of an upwardly mobile wannabe tycoon who just sort of magically makes a fortune by parlaying brooms into jeans into cars, etc. by climbing the ladder of success in the new Russia's corrupt market economy of the past 20 years, "Tycoon: A New Russian" has low production value, a story which asks more questions than it answers, a confusing herky-jerky flow which leaps back and forth through time, poor character development, etc., and, of course, subtitles. Given so many liabilities, it would be difficult to recommend this flick to anyone save those few with a real interest in Russian cinema. Russian film enthusiasts should check out the much better Russian film: "Utomlyonnye solntsem (Burnt by the Sun)" (1994). (C)
