Moscow Chill

A great find, this movie was. I saw the enticing trailer via sites like you tube and my space and was more than excited to see it.

The plot was well developed and certainly believable, the cast was superb, and the setting was beautiful.

The images of Russia, from the Hotels, to the skylines, to the prison, to the country-side, were all breath taking and served to invite the viewer into Russia to experience its darkness and beauty.

A wonderful performance by the entire cast. Norman Reedus brings a charm to a convict role that is very much endearing. Slava Schoot, although begins the film as pseudo villain, ends up winning over the audience as a lovable character. Xusha Buravsky not only holds her own on a nearly all male cast, but is beautiful and engaging the entire time. And let's not forget the very entertaining role of Maya's father, a role that brought a much needed comedic craziness to the film.

I'm excited for the release in hopes of deleted scenes and bloopers and recommend this film to all who come across it. It's definitely worth the watch.
