      Loved it!

      A story about love for the family. Well developed plot, nicely contexualized, great finish!

      The cause and effects are showed precisely, without wasting any time of the 1.5 hrs ish movie.

      The casting was fantastic, all the actors, not only the top casts, but also the supporting casts did there job as it should be.

      The only off for me was the ease of access to the weapons, but that may be because my lack of knowledge, may be that was the reality back then.

      Other than that, I've found the storyline touchy and entertaining.

      I recommend watching it to whoever loves their family.

      'Job well done' to the whole team 👏

      Voroshilovskiy strelok

      "Voroshilovskiy strelok" is definitely one of the best Russian movies! Great script, great cast, great visuals.

      Needless to say, Mikhail Ulyanov masterfully played his role, very touchingly, truthfully and emotionally performed every action, every word. Ivan Fedorovich is the embodiment of a pure and honest person who believes that people should be kind, that there should be no moral dirt in the world, that one should live in such a way that one should not be ashamed of oneself before death. He brings up his granddaughter just like that - kind, honest and sympathetic.

      I really admire the film, I watched it more than once, so I highly recommend it to everyone!

      I really want to believe that similar pictures will still appear in Russian cinema, affecting the soul, forcing us to think about the serious problems of society! This movie deserves all the praise!

      simple but entertaining

      As the summary already said, this movie has a typical post-soviet storyline. So, if you expect an original plot you will be disappointed eventually. The plot as well as character development is pretty simple. Many scenes are set way to obvious, so that you're able to guess what's going to happen next. This, of course, makes the movie less exciting than it could be.

      However, there are things I really liked about this movie. I think that the actor who played the granddad was great. You really believe him, you feel what he feels and you will be surprised how much strength this old man can bring up and how determine he is seeking for justice. That's all this movie delivers. It's simple and entertaining, definitely worth watching, there's just nothing special about it...

      Everyone would like to have a grandfather like this.

      Excellent film. All the actors played their roles very well, very believably. It feels like a documentary, and everything happens in real time. This is probably because many girls have experienced rape in similar circumstances and have also faced victim blaming and police brutality.

      View This will be useful for victims of violence, it is nice to imagine that those who hurt you will receive retribution.

      Russian Hobo with a Shotgun.

      If you enjoy stuff like Ms 45, Hobo with a Shotgun, I Spit On Your Grave, this is in your boat. I have to say, i haven't been bored during this whole movie at all, and that happens really, really, rarely. Besides Lilya4Ever and Come & See, this is in the same top list of the best Soviet films i have ever seen.

      Now, everything here is incredibly powerful. The start is extremely powerful, and middle is kind of slow, but then it just rockets again. There is only one funny moment in this whole movie, however, minus that one scene, everything here is pitch black serious. The strongest scene in this whole movie, is when the girl the victim appears with her long hair, smiling at the officer, that was one of the most powerful things i have ever seen.

      The writing is strong, the acting seems to be working great. I loved this movie, it's the Russian Hobo with a Shotgun!

      • Trivia
        Anna Sinyakina revealed she was replaced by a body double in the rape scene. "At the time of filming, I was a minor and refused to undress categorically. The naked body parts in the film are not mine. I originally asked for a stunt double. And even here the point is not that I wasn't allowed to be naked. Having received parental consent, I was able to undress, but I was very shy. We thought a lot about how to replace me with a stunt double. I was lying on the bed and suddenly I grabbed the blanket and threw it over me so I couldn't be seen. The solution has been found. Another girl was hiding under a blanket," Sinyakina said.
