The Balkan Line

Really good action films are rear on the big screen these days. There are dozens of comics and science fictions with baby plastic pistols and funny unbelievable deaths with no blood and zero realism. Though things are far way worse for Russian cinematography. It is crammed with stupid vulgar comedies and sob-stuff melodramas. If you want to watch normal action film it'll be 99% about the Second World War. So I was totally thrilled to learn that the new 20th century fox film describes twenty-year-old events in Yugoslavia. Moreover, the target audience is adults, not twelve-year-olds. It actually intrigued me. Finally, after watching first trailer I already knew the film's going to be awesome.

It turned out to be right. Balcan line gives us not only with a fresh interpretation of the historical facts of the confrontation between Russia and the NATO countries in Serbia, but also skillfully casts the main character's romantic relationships into the plot, turning one local conflict into a tragedy of all life for them. We sympathize Andrey who is ready to overcome any difficulties in the way of his beloved's salvation. Even if it is heavily armed Albanian terrorists. Unlike other recent Russian war films the romantic line is just a subplot, there are loads of hardcore, action and explosions. Conflict here is bloody and dirty as it was. It worth to be seen.
