    intriguing but let down by incoherent storytelling....
    Kazn or The Execution, is reminiscent of films like Silence of the Lambs. Not so much in terms of story but overall treatment.

    Its grainy, bleak and gloomy, with an equally depressing subject, the search and capture of Russian serial killers. There's a grotesqueness about this film. It does not shy away from the, at times, revolting, world these killers occupy.

    Balancing this, is a story of police corruption and scape goating, that's just as troubling.

    Unfortunately, in spite of its dark promise, Kazn, is simply too incoherent, as a film to amount to anything meaningful. You really have to pay close attention, to try and bring together the loose strands of this story.

    This shortcoming, is not helped by constant leap frogging between earlier periods and 1991, when everything comes to an head.

    In summary, a quality production with a strong cast and interesting, if depressing, material. Its let down by excessive complication and a non linear approach, that makes following what is happening, no small task for the viewer.

    NOTE: Why can't this title be found easily by searching IMDB?

    5/10.
