Now the real Erast Fandorin must urgently find the killer to whitewash his honest name, and at the same time become the chief policeman of the city. That's just the investigation he will have to conduct with sent from the capital Prince Pozharsky (Nikita Mikhalkov), but he may have completely different goals and objectives.
As an actor Nikita Mikhalkov in this film standard plays himself - a gentleman, but unfortunately he did not limit himself to this and took the artistic direction of the young director Philip Yankovsky, and took so that the film in fact should be a completely different filmography. Clever, strong, judging by the first film, director Philip Jankowski is not here. Instead of subtle, but nervous strokes “In motion” we see sweeping strokes of “Siberian barber”. It is a shame that against such a background, cold-blooded (and as if just cold) Oleg Menshikov and a good script Akunin are absolutely dying. Fandorine becomes our answer to James Bond. What is the style of classical Russian literature? That's right, none, one mikhalkovoshchina
