| User ReviewPrivate UThis movie seems really, really short. It's also semi-confusing at the beggining. From the back of the case, I thought that this was a straight-up mob flick. It's not really. It's not even those Russian's from Triple X. I also don't know why Flixter is leaving Jennifer Jason Leigh off the cast list on this page. She's on the cover for goodness sakes. It's not really worth your time. |
| User ReviewSeb MVladimir Mashkov at his best. The best russian actor in a mob movie that made me think about "The Funeral" from Ferrara. |
| User ReviewAnna MI rented it for Joel Heyman (his role as the bartender/butler was PIVOTAL to the story srsly....I <3 Joel), but I really did like the story anyway. Oleg was freakin' adorable. |
| User ReviewGreg Wgood suspenser but kinda reminded me of the demi moore/Robert redford pic indescent proposal |
| User ReviewDon SThough I love Jennifer Jason Leigh, this one really didn't do it for me. Not enough background on the characters, no development of the characters, and lots of talking heads with not much else going on. I'm guessing it was trying to be deep and philosophical; it wound up being a light-weight bore that didn't really play fair with the audience. If there is going to be an "ah!" moment, you should at least give us enough info to look back and say "how did I miss it?" |
