This hypnotically repulsive pair is in the Big Apple for hardly an hour when the hulking, baby-faced Oleg swipes an expensive video camera from a Times Square shop so he can make a movie of his American adventures. First he tapes Emil's murder of a buddy from the old country who foolishly squandered the pair's money while they were in jail. Now Emil announces a fiendish plan. They'll go on a crime spree, making videos of their exploits. It's Emil's notion that even if they're caught, Oleg's videos will prove that they're too crazy to be held accountable.
Nobody is responsible for what they do.
Unlike his mentor, Jordy wants nothing to do with celebrity, which is how we know he's the real hero of the piece. He introduces his premise early on and then keeps repeating it while doing little to enlarge upon it. Stylistically the film is all over the map, replete with jarring changes in mood as the genuinely dramatic suddenly gives way to the outlandishly absurd. And he gets quite good performances out of his cast. Grammer is gloriously reprehensible as the talking head who believes that journalistic ethics consist of anything he can get away with.
