A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Naydenov decides to revenge their death... It's a very interesting movie. I did not know that Ukraine could make movies like that. I heard that it was really like that in Ukraine and Russia in the 90's. Criminals ruled and terrorized the country. I give 10 points for this movie +++ The movie is worth watching.
