I'm always intrigued by the type of people who comes on IMDB.com to give movies perfect "10" vote. As a movie reviewer, I can count on one hand the number of films I've given a perfect "10" score to, and I average more movies in a year than most people will see in their lifetime. So when I see that nearly 100 people have given BRAT 2 a perfect "10" score, I can only assume there is something about BRAT 2 that makes people take the time to come on this site in order to pad the movie, because the film itself is certainly not THAT good.
BRAT 2 is about a Russian who comes to America in search of a comrade who is being cheated out of his rightful earnings by a ruthless American businessman. Along the way, the Russian (as a tool of the writer/director) lets us in on the fact that Russians are not used to seeing black people. Or at least, the type of African-Americans that live in America. How else can one explain the rampant racism directed toward blacks in BRAT 2?
Besides the obvious, BRAT 2 has some nice sequences. The entire thing, as is the usual trademark of the writer/director, treats its violence with a nonchalant attitude. Of course there's no real realism to the violence, and the whole thing looks like a big cartoon instead of a gritty crime film, which I thick some people here thinks it is.
All in all, BRAT 2 is certainly not bad. But it's certainly not the greatest thing to come out of Russia, as nearly 100 voters on this board would have you believe.
