You gonna kill me? Don't be afraid, just rob! Provocateur is a Russian detective series with elements of comedy. By chance, having stumbled upon this film, I just couldn’t come off! I watched the first two episodes and the other two the day before yesterday.
The series is atypical of everything that is currently on TV. And this atypicalness primarily attracts. The series is built on the contrast between crime and comedy!
Acting performance in "Provocateur" is beyond praise! Brilliant work by Vitaly Khaev, who performed Major Pankratov, a very charismatic and reckless cop! Sangadzhiev in the role of an inexperienced opera, over which Pankratov mocked the whole series, is also very good. Sasha Shevchenko perfectly coped with the role of a journalist, and Igor Volkov in the role of the main villain looks very good.
The plot , of course, sometimes oblique and unrealistic, but it looks very interesting and humorous. In general, the work of the writers is very good.
Musical accompaniment, which is the music and songs of a talented musician Vasily Goncharov (aka Vasya Oblomov), is beyond praise. At the end of each series, Vasya performs a song in a theme. And the main theme of the series, a modified introduction from the song "Boss", still rings in my head. He has done a great job!
What is more important in this series: the humor that fills almost every scene, or the detective? The answer is simple: both. And the ending is by no means funny, making tremors run down the back. Everything is well thought out and the series is worth watching.
Very well depicted the relationship between the characters. Especially between Pankratov and Sanya. And the ending fits in very well. Pankratov provoked Sapuna!
Great detective + funny comedy = good movie The only drawback is a lot of blunders and some weak points in the plot. But it all covers great humor and a superb storyline, as well as natural characters!
Great movie
