Featured review
Putin is a brilliantly bad "movie." Seriously, it takes a lot of talent to pull this off. I truly believe that the creators did a gargantuan job to make absolutely everything in this movie dumb, laughable and disconcerting. Like Scary Movie, but with the bonus of parasitizing on the tragedy of the Ukrainian people. As a cherry on top, the hard drive with the final cut was pissed on to give the film that artsy yellow filter. I won't dignify this incoherent garbage with analyzing any more of its features, because I've wasted enough time on it already.
In a distant future, we may live to see not only a handful of serious biopics about Putin, but also a new Armando Ianucci who will bring us the work similar to The Death of Stalin. But not now. Now, we only have Patryk Vega, the most hated filmmaker of Poland, and his abomination that will, God willing, shortly descend into obscurity. Make no mistake, it's not "so bad it's good" or a guilty pleasure, it's just guilty.

However Ddayev was assassinated on the 21st April 1996, while Putin joined his Kremlin Position in August 1996.
- Crazy creditsThe movie begins with the quotes "The mind is its own place and, in itself can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven" by John Milton and the anonymous Quote "However high a man ascends in his pursuit of power, the shadows of his past remain. They are the whispers of a conscience Shaping his Destiny."
