About what . About such a domestic Clint Eastwood (that is, his branded hero, at the same time good, bad and evil), which is a super -perkiller, works only for giant grandmas, but in fact only on itself, commits crimes (from the point of view of law and morality), but has unconditional concepts of honor.
Pros . The first in the latest history of Russian cinema is an expensive gangster action movie. "Mercedes" - so six hundredth. Office buildings are so modern Moscow glass. Explosions and shootings - just like real ones. Jackets - so from ... I don’t know who exactly, but I’m sure that from whom it is necessary. "From whom" the so -called "normal boys" are bought and buy.
Of course, by Hollywood standards, this is still a militant of category "B", but he does not quite look like a primitive "b-muvis". Firstly, the “24 hours” hold the viewer not only by shootings, but also curious information - about what, it turns out, there are now technologies for total surveillance, murders at any distance with the help of cell phones, etc. It is also curious that, according to the authors, there is something like a “killer trade union”, from the classified center and a secret monitoring of everyone and all. Only blockbusters of the "mission" type, which "is impossible", had previously entertained such information pieces of our viewer.
Secondly, the film has a lot of interesting characters. In general, it turns out that almost all the characters of the film are not bad, take care of their families, etc. However, they constantly play complex parties worse than chess, try to deceive, substitute, kill and do not have any concepts about a debt or fraternity in relation to rivals or companions. Accordingly, the film can be perceived as a conceptual statement about modern Russian life, where, starting with certain political and economic floors, gangsters are all. And everyone behaves recklessly, because they drive the idea from themselves that well-being and life itself will collapse overnight, because someone someday “orders them”.
Cons . The script of such a “non -stupid action movie” would have dreamed of writing any Sinefil, preoccupied - in addition to the desire to look as many paintings as possible - also the need to deliver money to the family. But the idea of such scenarios was born in trepidable-fried synefils about five years ago. We attribute to the minuses the fact that the plot of the film is still somewhat "unwritten." Experienced genre fighters from Hollywood never allow it to themselves.
Key words . Cool Sukhanov, many, many pistols, all against everyone, today's Moscow, everything is gangsters.
