Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for anyone who likes to be kept guessing and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Sits nicely alongside Cape Fear or Coffy.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 2 hr 12 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Ilya Goryunov has spent seven years in prison on false charges of drug trafficking. When Ilya is free he realizes that the old life that he yearned for is no more. Although he did not intend to take revenge on the man who sent him to prison, now there is no other way out.
