A smart bastard kills stupid bastards This film is certainly not new, but Russia received it last, a year later.
I will immediately say that the film is not perfect, but it differs from the mass of others in that there are clear claims to it, which I did not like.
And so the first thing I will say about the most obvious disadvantage, the truth is relevant only in the first half. In the beginning, there are many events that we have forgotten to devote to. The fact that at the beginning the maniac catches the girl is understandable, it is a horror and it would seem to devote later, but it happens too late.
So, the film has two troubles – the illogicality, the serious illogicality of many events (close to the end, one of the victims asks about this from the main villain, to which he does not find a suitable answer) and the fact that we do not know anything about the plot, and we are told it as if we are watching the final episode of “Star Wars” and already know everything. Even instead of names, they often say “he”, “she”, and who they do not explain at all.
I think that’s why critics tore up the film, and the audience was not particularly praised, although in fact there is something to praise. There's a good picture in the movie. Color correction, special effects, pavilions, makeup, all at the highest level. The technical part of the film is almost perfect, although sometimes everything is just poured ketchup and darkened.
As for the actor, everything is good here. There are no celebrities, but they play pretty well. The characters are beautiful. They manifest themselves in different ways, are remembered, some are even sorry. But let’s not forget that there is only one positive character in the film, and the rest are worthy of death.
The result is a very controversial film, especially in terms of plot. But in general it is recommended to one view
