Not the Minotaur, but the Underground Wind. Or maybe even "Order to Go Down Under the Ground." These are not translation difficulties - these are romantic bootleggers! This movie has one important feature - a film from childhood, enchanting the 90s, seeming from the height of the 2010s something very distant, pleasant and at the same time dangerous. Minotaur (although I know it more romantically under the name Underground Wind) is a bit like, ‘Okay, I had a cassette of that movie!’ and a whole set of templates. It’s not a good idea to watch a movie like this at a more mature age, otherwise you can quite seriously realize that some part of your childhood world crashed into a reef. . .
Looking at this picture, I suddenly began to ask strange questions that in 1997 would hardly have interested me: why is the SWAT so terribly staffed? Where did their clothes come from? How does a plane fly to land a group? And how does it make a vertical landing? Why does this dying guy have foam from his mouth? Why? Why? Why?
Here it is - in my little train of childhood with a whistle flew a diesel locomotive of adulthood.
And suddenly I realized, like enlightenment, what does it matter? This is now if a special squad, then with competent uniforms, if the plane, then almost real, well, or at least operating in some framework of physics, a bullet flying into a person does not cause a bloody-meat eruption at the place of impact. . .
But then it was different and that’s the value of these films. There is no need to think about it or try to find something deep in the game of actors, you just need to watch them. Although it is indisputable - their time has long passed, and the only reliable to view - some person that almost a couple of decades ago, with sincere joy, inserted the cassette into the video.
A simple and fairly predictable plot, slightly diluted with a small surprise in the second part of the film, a diverse squad from which someone will die, a villain who is not so easy to kill, an evil professor, and a threat to the whole world.
Nostalgia. And that's why:
