Who payed the critics

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

An action-packed slog

Blistering performances.

It is the last film of the Solovyov trilogy and possibly the last "underground" soviet film. A great scientist returned from US, where he was given a PC (a very rare and expensive thing for Russia of that time) and some other awards for his outstanding research. The KGB and "Bratva" did the best to meet him at his motherland and get a piece of his prize. Besides, it is the film of the last years of "perestroika" which was,in itself, the mass hallucination. So that is the way Solovyov made his film. But it is the last sad joke about the tortured motherland. The country that we have lost.
