this movie really wake me up and like it wake up the main male character of this bravely different movie from his life slumber . this guy john ( ben chaplin ) lead his mediocre safe life of a bank teller in a small provincial english town and until the stunningly gorgeous and wild and girl to die for nadia ( nicole kidman ) and order by email from russia and enter his life to become his beloved wife and by john plan . however a glitch turn up nadia do not speak a word of johns language . although calm and emotionless on the outside and john becomes so interested in beautiful nadia that instead of use the full refund policy of the matching service and he buy her a dictionary to start the communication process . what happen henceforth in the plot really shakes poor john from his slumber of a decently pay safe feeling clerk into a decision make decently think action figure and give the viewer a subliminal message you would have probably act likewise . kidman and cassel and kassovitz make a great team act russian and they be almost indistinguishable from the real thing and almost only due to the slight accent present in their russian dialogue and however slight enough to amaze a native russian by the hard work do to get the word sound right . nicole kidman prove her talent once again by play a character quite different from the previous role and at least from the cultural background . the pace of the film be fast and captivate and and you certainly be not ready to quit watch when the end title appear and you rather feel that youre in the middle of the plot and and be leave with a desire to see the sequel as soon a it come out . my advice be to go out and get this film immediately and watch it and enjoy . to sum it up and it have an unusual plot and great acting and and idea below the surface . like the idea of the rude awaken from the artificial safe routine life of a wheel in a society machine and the life which member of the fight club be so keen to quit and the machine of which pink floyd sings ( welcome to the machine . ) . i bet that in the end and john be rather off with sophia on their way to the unknown than not have meet her at all . thank you and writer and for the great story and and everyone else for this great movie . please make a sequel . and you can stage it whereever and name the location whatever and because the authenticity of the place be irrelevant to the 99 . 9999 percent of the potential viewer and i be sure of it .
