Krymskiy most. Sdelano s lyubovyu! (2018)
Russian propaganda to whitewash its occupation
The writer, Margarita Simonyan is a well known Russian propagandist. This film is financed by the Russian state and solely meant to normalize its lies about Ukraine.
It should not be regarded a movie at all.
Its Hitlers "Mein Kampf" within some badly played "romance".
Save your brain cells.
Since I have to write 300 characters more about Russian propaganda, ignore the rest. All that matters is said. In addition the acting is static Russian fake emotions in a hilariously bad story.
The main character discussing his own family's violent deportation under Stalin has nothing more to say than, "They were sent away -- that means it had to be." At other points in the film, he has approving words for Stalin. That pretty much sums up the world view that Ruzzians want to impose on its audience. So don't let them.
Hamilton: I nationens intresse (2012)
solid and somewhat smart action movie
In my personal opinion this movie is a much more realistic version of any "American style" "secret agent" movie. It has action, never gets boring, it has fights and explosions. What differs the main character most from let's say a "transporter", is that the movie is not giving him one of the usual stereotypes of "bad stories from the past". In fact the movie does start with quite a shocking moment, something one rarely seen in other action movies, and later on in the movie there is actually a moment of thought in terms of "even agents are under law". So if you once in a while get bored by transporter 3 and would like to see an unknown but credible face on screen, I think you will like this movie.
