Beat them up Two people from the orphanage are making their way up the criminal ladder. One is an experienced courier of prohibited substances. Another is very far from such realities, but out of old friendship without hesitation decides to go to Central Asia, represented here, apparently, by Uzbekistan, in order to deliver a certain parcel. The Mafia, according to the perestroika trend, must periodically surrender their “six” so that the local authorities could fulfill the target plan for landings, without arousing suspicions from the increasingly waning center represented here by an auditor from Moscow. As a result, in the course of the case, the suspected wrong citizen is more experienced going straight to the next world, and the other for 8 years to places not so distant from where he was, as well as a couple of colorful comrades, one of whom is an undercover agent, in the future will have to escape and, starting even in the zone, to do justice, based, as in the hero of the later “Brother” (1997) on rather subjective beliefs about such.
In general, an ordinary, purely criminal story, remarkable for two facts. The first is not the most common place of action. The second is more or less not pretentious elements of martial arts, which in particular will be used in the narrow passages of a suburban electric train, which involuntarily evokes associations with old games of the “beat them up” genre. Three characters successively pass several locations and also consistently stutter about everyone who meets on the road, and in the final they are waiting for the boss and his henchmen.
