Well done movie, but I found it very boring and a little depressing

Rating: 5/10 (25 June 2020)

About halfway through the movie I just lost interest. I was sick of the characters bickering and fighting and all the shooting and carrying on. I kept losing focus and I was not able to really follow the plot. It was just too boring for me. The only reason I kept watching was because Steve Buscemi and Michael Palin are in it.
There were a few funny scenes and some funny lines and things, but not nearly enough for me to feel like it was worth it to spend my time watching this movie. I have no interest in history or Stalin or anything like that. I couldn't identify with any of the characters. They were all nuts. I couldn't wait for this movie to end.
On the plus side, I did like how the movie was made in general...no fake accents -- all the actors spoke in their natural manner whether they were American or British or whatever. There was no attempt to force all the actors to do Russian accents which would have really drove me crazy. The acting was good, the casting was good, the costumes and the sets were good. The buildings they used were amazing.
