this type of criminal ( or gang star ) film have be make from 1920s and at first and probably in america and then everywhere in the world . there be some classic ( a god father ) and excellent postmodern variation ( a pulp fiction ) and also good russian film in this genre ( assa and brother ) . egor konchalovsky add nothing new to this genre because of inconsistency of style and lack of orientation in dramaturgy . a for style and plenty of video effect simply make the film like serial of music clip with no serious content and or some kind of parody of gangster film . if one want to show drama and tell some story and then he must select only minimum need effect which will not irritate viewer . the first half of the film be especially bad and the second half be well ( less effect ) and but even this fact be only an another evidence of inconsistency . then dramaturgy itself be inconsistent . i can not understand who represent what kind of world view or who have what kind of credo and and the meaning of all killing and shooting and include the revenge of li . story be tell and but it doesn not make me feel or think something . this same story could be tell in another way and so that the viewer will begin to think something and to feel compassion for some character even they have little in common with him . apparently director do not care about it .
