Ivanov's stunt coordinating work on The Bourne Supremacy was truly spectacular, and he clearly has a talent for action scenes as evidenced in White Gold. But he can't direct actors. As the other comments said, the directing is wanting, and some of the actors are really terrible.The scenery however is great and the story is fascinating. The basis of the story is true (the missing gold of the White Army) and this makes for an interesting plausible adventure. Check it out if you want to see what Siberia is really like. I also like that the actors are actually speaking Russian instead of with bad "Russian" accents. There are a few good performances however and the girl is beautiful and talented. It seems like they started with a good script but didn't quite deliver. Well worth a look.
