    Storyline

    Edit
    An American businessman is coming to Moscow to conclude a contract. Little he knows that this will be just a cover for a drug-trafficking operation, where the drug supplier - "Red Serpent" doesn't take no for an answer. It seems that the situation is hopeless, however, the Red Serpent has an enemy in Sergey Popov, a former FSB agent with a vendetta of his own.

    An instant cult offering from a consistently underrated crew of misfits
    This movie can be slow at times but overall will leave the viewers with question of whether or not it was worth it. Not until the second viewing could I appreciate the subtleties and intricacies contained therein. The movie was excellent with respect to the acting, directing and especially editing. Other titles to look for are show chickens and College Town USA. If you expect to find this movie as another Roy Schieder in Jaws, look elsewhere. If you on the other hand wish to see a feature rich with humor (albeit unanticipated) look no further. Other films I would cite as a reference point would be Gummo, Evil Dead, and Bottle Rocket.
