User Reviews

Superb

I agree that there are some deficiencies in the film. But you have to admit its a great film for a budget of 3.5 million. How many American thrillers cost much more but deliver far less. Andrei Panin is simply the epitome of silent aggression. The camera work is great too. Maybe Russia can try to launch its films abroad in non CIS countries in limited number of screens in major centers like the French do. It really doesn't deserve a 5.6 rating. I cant understand why people are giving it a rating of 1. The near absence of action in an action film? I nearly forget the acting of the American boxing champion and his manager especially is really good. It really adds spice to the film.
