Evgeniy Sidikhin is fun to watch as a prototypical Russian tough guy with a soul. His character is introduced as a by-the-books, loyal patriot. This makes his transformation into a ridiculous caricature of a Terminator-style motorcycle-riding gangster (except his biker jacket is trimmed with fur) even more jarring. The rest of the movie is one action-movie trope after another.
(***Mild spoiler here***)
And can anyone explain how he and his girlfriend went from being bound for safe haven in the Canary islnds to that last, pointless chase by the police and military? (Note: the version i watched on Netflix was only 1 hour and 31 minutes long; apparently the theatrical release was 2:45 (!)
