Good movie but grossly overrated

Don't listen to the negative reviews

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

An orphan named Nikolay Najdenov went through the hell of the war in Afghanistan and the horrors of captivity. From now on he is a US citizen and his name is Nick McCann. In the US he has a family and new life, but in his country of birth, Ukraine, there are still some unpaid bills remaining, so the tough American boy goes back to his home country, where he learns about the death of his best friend, and soon after that his friend's wife got killed, too. Naydenov decides to revenge their death... It's a very interesting movie. I did not know that Ukraine could make movies like that. I heard that it was really like that in Ukraine and Russia in the 90's. Criminals ruled and terrorized the country. I give 10 points for this movie +++ The movie is worth watching.
