Post-Soviet Russia's rough crime drama. I certainly don't know the St. Petersburg, it digs into a poor society's underbelly trying to find its feet. With a very black sense of humor, dark and grim. The late Sergei Bodrov Jr. with a strong support cast around him is great in the lead. You see, you know... Apart from Eisenstein and Tarkovsky, there is Russian cinema. One more thing... If it had been done in any other country, it would have been restored by the Americans as a dumb, violent man.
