Storyline

Former criminal investigator, Major Korenev, nicknamed Fox is released from prison. He has been detained there as a result of planted incriminating evidence of unlawful investigation techniques. Setting accounts with Shaman - a big criminal boss, who ordered the evidence planted and also with his former colleagues was not a part of Korenev's agenda. As he returns to Moscow he finds a new world ruled by underworld bosses, criminal clans fighting each other and utter chaos on the desperately keeping appearances streets of Russian capital. Facing death of his friends, Major Korenev decides to re-install law and order using some unorthodox methods that are only relevant in 21st century Russia.

User Reviews

worst movie of all time

You want to see moviemaking at its worst? Want to see great old russian actors playing weak characters? Want to see what future russian cinema has? GO AND WATCH THIS "MASTERPIECE" OF BAD CINEMA. this movie is awful in every single way. But the worst about this junk is the work of the cameraman Antonov, I have seen a great number of movies in my life. Some were good, other fine, other awful, but no movie ever had such a disgusting camerawork. This movie tries to copy other movies without even being ashamed of it! Did you notice the way that Ulianov's character speaks? Well it is a rip-off of marlon Brando's performance in the Godfather. But 1000000 times worse! This is not just a bad movie like Ed Wood's films, which are fun to watch. This film should be prohibited and all copies of it should be burnt!

PS. I haven't seen the sequel yet, but I doubt it is better...
