Putevoy obkhodchik (2007)

Who cool killer who deserved to be in a better Movie

[5/10 · 5 March 2014]

A group of bank robbers take some hostages after a heist and hightail it to an abandoned underground subway station. After being double crossed by one of their members, the group finds themselves lost in the underground tunnels. To make matters worse there is a killer on the loose in the tunnels known as the Trackman (Aleksey Dmitriev) who stalks and kills our hapless group. With goggles and a pick Ax in hand, the Trackman goes to work and the group falls one by one. This Russian horror film has an impressive looking villain in the Trackman and some of the deaths by pick ax have some fun to them. Director Igor Shavlak keeps Trackman in the shadows and manages to build suspense in short blasts. Unfortunately the screenplay and the poor dubbing get in the way too many times and sink the film every time it gets going. One of the actresses dubbing one of the characters is whining the entire time and is annoying as hell. There isn't any real explanation for the Trackman being down there or what the bank robbers were trying to accomplish by going underground after the robbery. A cool killer, who belonged in a better movie.
