It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The acting in this movie is really good.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Since the 1973 release of western's classic "Beloe solntse pustini" (Desert's White Sun, directed by Vladimir Motyl) a Russian version of Sergio Leoni or Clint Eastwood kind of westerns, there were many imitations, none of which come close to the original. In fact "Beloe solntse pustini" is Russian western that favorably compares with the best. Mirazh is a poor replica of those great originals.Dmitri Maryanov is consistently miscast as an action hero despite of his kind and soft features and gentle demeanor. He's versatile actor but his best roles still await him.The plot is primitive, predictable and tired. Typically sinister Arabs are forcing innocent girls into prostitution also trafficking cocaine. Two Russian youths are stranded in desert and unwittingly become their defenders. Bad Arabs loose and Russians, assisted by the police, win. This film is not the Oskar candidate.
