Turist

The manicheism of the good vs. Evil sides is forgivable in this context, as the bandit-like warfare of the Central-African rebels is unfortunately all too realistic.

The action scenes are compelling and the choice of filming it almost from the perspective of a day-to-day documentary about the crisis makes it stand out.

Actors are very fine, especially the main ones.

At some points, I lost a bit track of the intertwined scenes and locations.

Not the most memorable movie ever but it gives you your fair share of thrills... of course, if you are open to the Russians not always being evil monsters.

This film is like a documentary and depicts the situation in Africa with a lot of realism with no propaganda or political views.

I am looking for the French version.

Oh my God, how a movie can be soooo bad, lousy, laughable; a pure pure propaganda crap. The worst of the Russian film industry, which the main producer no no one else than Vladimir the Great. Destined to dumbest audiences on earth, pulled by awful acting. Of Course, VP's regime helps African gouvernment because their diamonds, uranium resources, and in exchange, poor Africans have NO OTHER CHOICE than licking Russian's asses. I watched the premiere of the film in an African stadium in Bangui, they were as enthusiasts as if their soccer national team had won the World cup. Poor Africans, shame on VP.....Hollywood worst movies are masterpieces compared to this one. Really.

Very bad movie. Look like an old 80's 90's movie The purpose of this movie probably contributed to have such low level actors. A very bad plot, as in a movie from the last century.

It is a complete lie on the real events in Central Africa. I watch this movie from a streaming platform.

There's even a documentary from Arte (European Channel) relating this propaganda fact.

And a article, from Matthew Campbell, in The Times : it is a "most eye-catching piece of propaganda", which glorifies the men of the Wagner Group, a mercenary force supported by Yevgeny Prigozhin, who sponsored the film.

The film contains many signs of the Wagner PMC, in particular: the Ural cars used by the Wagnerites with characteristic modifications, Prigozhin's plane with the same tail number.

Turist is not a bad Russian film action movie. The budget is modest, and there is no large-scale action. But in general, it is nice to watch a film, which is rare for Russian cinema. And the main topic is not at all in domestic cinema, finally the story is not about the Afghan or Chechen war. And the film is completely apolitical and there is no pseudo-heroism in it, and with this it stands out among similar films.
