Where can I even begin? The fear of everything "Russia"? The "book" that this "movie" is based on that claims that it's all true? The fact that instead of feeding the homeless, someone dumped 70 million $$$ on this dumpster fire?

I'm used by now to Hollywood releasing fear fueled anti Soviet/Russian propaganda, but this one takes the cake.

First, where the hell is this taking place? Europe in this looks like it's 2018 while "Russia" looks like it's 1970 at best. The acting is all over the place, especially all the fake Russian accents. I mean cool, you want to make a propaganda film about Russia and you can't actually use Russian speaking actors to do it because they would laugh themselves to death if they read the script, so why do the Russian thing at all? The look of the film is trash as well, I know the filters are there to make the "movie" look dark and gloomy, but it just looks like someone got sick on the camera lens. No one actually stopped to ask while filming if this is how real people act anywhere?

This "movie" pretends to tell a "true story" from a "book" written by an ex CIA agent, going with the "well, if he wrote it, then it must be true!" reason.

Honestly, this makes every fantasy movie into a documentary in comparison.

I won't say don't watch it, because it's up to you to decide, but I cannot with a clear conscience recommend this to anyone.

PURE GARBAGE!
