It was very interesting to watch and I love how unpredictable it turned out to be. Very good quality and acting. The movie keeps your attention to the end.
I watched this movie with my husband yesterday. Oh my god, I love it! Hurry up, grab some popcorn and watch the movie!
The very beginning of the film makes you to be immediately involved in the process. A lot of information is given out. My brains boiled a little from such a load at the very beginning. Interesting start to the story...
Toward the middle, I found the film to be a little boring, long. Throughout the film, the audience and the main characters do not understand what is happening. The whole movie keeps you in the dark. At first, this causes curiosity, intrigue, but over time, there are even more mysteries, and at some point, boredom appears.
At one point, there was a feeling that there was already too much with riddles. A thought flashed through my head: "Well, I already understood that everything is so hidden there. Can you already show what is behind the scenes?"
However, all this uncertainty makes you continue to watch the film. What is hidden there, who is behind this all? Sometimes I was delighted with how everything is thought out to the smallest detail. The appearance of the lead actor (Oleg Fendura) in this role seemed to me somehow stupid. Although he plays a smart, successful man, I couldn't help feeling like he was some kind of smuggler with his beard.
The ending is just awesome, I loved it a lot! My eyes widened in amazement, my jaw dropped in shock. I screamed loudly: "This is f..king .... incredible .... What a cool movie!" This emotion came at the very end. The creators have been preparing you for this moment the whole movie. I cried with the main character at the very end. Because I imagine what he had to go through... It's really hard... I advise everyone to watch this movie. Watch, relax, enjoy, sometimes get bored)) By the way, you will also have to think a lot )) I'm beginning to think that I like thrillers the most...

So cool to see such a fantastic film from Ukraine, especially during such a horrible time for their country. Loved seeing a nice variety of footage from different areas of Ukraine, and artistic shots from many angles. Since I don't speak Russian, I watched with English subtitles and was able to follow everything fine. The actors did a great job and the storyline was interesting to follow.
Very interesting film. The intrigue lasts until the end of the picture. The plot is very unusual. Good filming quality, great acting. Separately respect to the director. I recommend for viewing in a good company.
I was skeptical to watch this low budget film, because its kinda Ukrainian production on Russian language thing. I didn't get it why it was marked as United Kingdom product on Russian steaming, maybe in a light of political situation between two countries. But whatever, I gave it a try and really like it.
This movie surprised me, really. It has a good picture, some of expensive scenes, nice acting, thrilling plot and twist at the end making it worth your while.
I would definitely recommend it, we need more movies like that in post Soviet countries to prove that Eastern European people can make something good too.
