Black Rose

Everything that Nevsky does is lies, falsehood and dust in the eyes.

Born Kuritsyn, he has no serious sports victories and titles, and in the world of real bodybuilding he is a laughing stock. The only ones who know him in Hollywood are bad actors like Adrian Paul and other unfortunates. Kristana Loken is another dummy, one-night star whose career was safely ruined by Uwe Boll.

The actor from Nevsky is also no. The fact that he allegedly graduated from the Lee Strasberg Acting Academy in California is an obvious nonsense. Al Pacino, Robert de Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Steve Buscemi and Angelina Jolie have been alumni at various times. And they are all really talented actors, which cannot be said about Sanka Kurochkin, who cannot play AT ALL!

And with all this - people believe! In this, Kuritsin must be given his due, he is a brilliant hoaxer.

And what support on TV! =D

But I will find out everything about what I am going to see, and people like Kuritsyn cannot deceive me. Therefore, films that interest me live up to my expectations in 9 cases out of 10.

But what about the average viewer?

The promotion of the film on TV smiled terribly. In particular, in Russia, the release of the film was given a whole plot. Action is there, all the cases. A tough man is healthy, in the credits they write "Mr. Universe", Russian Schwarzenegger. "The announcer talks about how a Hollywood actor, producer and director, a friend of Arnold, Jean Claude and Sylvester - Alexander Nevsky, together with a large Hollywood studio, shoots an American blockbuster in Moscow, with yourself in the lead role. On the screen, footage from the filming, explosions, shootouts, etc. And at the end they showed the trailer of the film, which, to be fair, looks pretty cool. But this is the job of marketers and editors, to present you with a poop on saucer, so that you look at her and exclaim: - "Wow! I'm buying Kachayidu at the cinema!" (Rather, after all, the first, right? ;))

I am sympathetic to those people thanks to whom this misunderstanding was able to collect more than $ 800,000 at the box office - the sucker is not a mammoth - he will not die out, and judging by some reviews, he will also say thank you. Yes, and God be with him. Another thing is more confusing - what $ 7,000,000 was spent on in this misunderstanding. Although, the question is stupid) Rollback, sawing, laundering, etc. Terms familiar to every Russian. Even relatives.

Total:

There is no acting! Kurochkin vaguely imagines what it is.

No directing either! Kurochkin generally vaguely imagines what it is.

Music - cheap pretentious nonsense played on spoons, saucepans and a cheap synthesizer.

The intrigue is fecal, the motivation of the villain is fecal, the motivation of Western cops, who invited 2 meters of disgrace to themselves, to investigate the murder is fecal.

As a result, the whole film is one big poop.

I can't believe how boring this movie is. The acting was bad, the chemistry was bad, the script was dull. The plot was a good one they should have been able to do more than they did with it.Blood and gore alone do not make a great action/mystery movie (or apparently even a good one). I could not wait for it to be over.

Apparently, this is a 2014 movie that is just being released on DVD, and which I found in Redbox. Set in Los Angeles, it centers on the search for a serial killer, named the Black Rose Killer, as a black rose and a cryptic message in Russian are left on the bodies of each mutilated victim.

Set in Los Angeles, so far five young Russian women have been murdered in the tight knit community of West Hollywood. A LAPD Captain (Robert Davi) has decided to put a fresh team together to try and track down the psycho killer, so he imports a brazen Russian Major (Alexander Nevsky) to pair with a rookie female detective (Kristanna Loken),

The rapport and chemistry between Nevsky and Loken was pretty effective and there is some decent humor sprinkled throughout the film. However, overall, I found the dialogue and most of the acting to be quite wooden and stilted.

There's also loads of cold-blooded killings, bloody torture scenes, and grizzly showings of the dead victims. As the movie progresses the body counts and the carnage just multiplies. There's a big twist at the end, which I didn't guess, but which by that point I didn't really care very much about.

All in all, can't recommend. To note, there were no subtitles on my DVD copy, except when Russian was being spoken, but I was able to use the closed caption option on my remote to get the subtitles.

Time flew by as it kept my attention, enjoyed watching it.

Com'on people. At least the photography was excellent. Bad script. Acting sans direction or self restraint. But good grief -- does it really deserve all this opprobrium? Shots and angles were often admirable. They found scenes and settings that were quite interesting and occasionally terrific. ... On the other hand, a stage name duplicating the cultural hero of the Russ is deserving of The Donald's approval and accents comparable to Branagh's Shadow Recruit choice are cringe-worthy. Just imagine what people not super self-conscious of being C-lister's could have done with the idea here.
