Great Soviet atmosphere with a minor resemblance of Scorsese’s Taxi driver. A Nice Watch.

Cool and clinical. Still showing the roughness of post soviet collapse.

Amazing gangster movie based in my birth town. Very unique, and unlike the American-Italian gangster movies most are used to. Must watch.

For me one of the best Russian movies. With one of the best soundtracks in Russian movies, which helps to feel the atmosphere much more.
