Well, even though, this movie provides with some interesting snapshots of America/Russia through the eyes of a rather violent though adventurous young man, what is this movie is really about? Does it have a story or is it a "Globetrekker" episode with Russian killer as a guide? The only moral movie seems to have is the old one, as is Pushkin "Everything is mine, said the gold/ Everything is mine, said the sword/, Will buy everything, said the gold/ Will take everything, said the sword". Yet, the main character seems to babble about some other higher power that justifies his actions/killing, the power that is somehow connected with higher "Russian" values. It would all work a bit better if the main character had some indication of a brain activity, but most of the time (when not pulling the trigger), he looks like the fairy tales' Ivanushka-the idiot, who by the motions of luck gets to be in places, win over princesses and simple folk, and balance out injustices.
Even though the movie lacked in plot, acting, ideas etc., it had two good aspects to it a) soundtrack; b) it was a smidgen better than the first installation of Brat - or maybe i just got used how bad the original was...
