Billion - Colpo in Costa Azzurra

A Russian attempt to add a new chapter to the "heist comedy", a genre that counts many successes as 'Rat Pack' and its quasi-remake 'Ocean's 11', 'Topkapi', 'A Fish Called Wanda', and many others. This movie cannot be compared with these illustrious predecessors: there are very silly moments in the screenplay and somewhere it degenerates into pure farce. On the other hand, I found it entertaining mainly for its distance from other recent Russian movies, as 'T34', 'Attraction', 'Space Walker', 'Salyut 7'. Maybe I'm influenced also by the fact that I watched it in Russian, a language I'm starting to understand well just now, after years of learning and exposure; anyway, I liked it. P.S.: my rating of this movie is higher than my opinion on it, but I wished to compensate somehow for the minimal scores by other reviewers, scores that I deserve only to movies showing absolute bad taste, as the infamous italian 'cinepanettoni'.

Dont spend your times and money bad movie. bad screenplay. bad director. bad actors.

Not a film that you will watch over and over again but it is entertaining, funny and absolutely nothing to do with ocean's 11 12 or 13. No time wasted here, except if like some critics, your time seems to worth 1.000$ / hour... Happy viewing.

I have never seen a Russian film before this. And I liked a lot! The film have the right temperature of humor and action, like the Russian version of "The Expendables". Better than a huge amount of Hollywood productions.

If we talk about the production value, It's good. story Idea is innovative but the screenplay made it to worst. yes billion used to be a funny entertaining revenge story but ended as average mass film with some expected twists, unexpected acting and hear aching sound design. it's not recommended to whom expecting a worthy time spender.. below average in all aspects.
