take this movie just as what it is: a dark unexpected comedy

Rating: 6/10 (9 November 2012)

If you know the previous work of the director, you know his genius in the action scenes (wanted, night watch, day watch): you have fun because it's to much unreal, this is what we in fact expect in that kind of movie.
Imagine Timur B as the Russian Tarantino, with less fun but the same kind of strong characters. What he lakes in the scenario (but quite imaginative if you realise they managed to tied up a historical figure to such an absurd vampire background!), he manages with the visual and the techniques: the director knows as to make a good entertainment and when you see all those wonderful unrealistic action scenes (real chain of events) you practically see a ballet so well orchestrated than you can only admire the work.
So, don't miss this funny version of a myth: freedom.
