[Seoulstriker]

that looks like a really good movie. subject matter is probably intense, though. :|

[serbian boy]

Is it possible to get it anywhere in the west, somewhere like Canada for example?

A British couple is kidnapped by the Chechens for a ransom of a million pounds - a ransom that nobody is able to pay. A Russian soldier is also a prisoner of Chechens but he ain't worth a dime. So the Briton and the Russian are let go - the former is told to come up with the ransom while his girlfriend stays with Chechens, the latter is sent with a message to hurry up the exchange of a Russian officer for the imprisoned brother of the Chechen warlord. Naturally, there is not enough money to buy back the British girl and no will on the part of Russians to exchange or rescue the Russian officer - so these two who were let go get back to Chechnya on their own accord to settle the affair in the Brat-2 style. With even bigger guns. Those who expect another art-house movie like Of Freaks and Men will be very dissapointed. This movie is as one-dimensional as they come: Chechens are evil, Russians are corrupt, Westerners and the press are hypocritical, Russian army is incompetent, so it is up to our hero armed only with a shotgun to take upon himself the Chechen war (vojna). At least there is an improvement to the Brat-2 movie - he doesn't have to make a shotgun from a waterpipe and two rolls of duct tape.

Damn straight it's a gtood movie. Watched in 7 times. never get tired of it. Have it on Russian tape and on DVD. Good ****. Thanks for the pics Roma

[Javehn]

He , i had this movie in my house , wached it 20 times probably ... And then taped "Black Hock Down" over it . The British fellow is so dumb , the VDV guy smokes to much , and Sergey Bodrov is better actor in "Brother" movies . But , the movie is nice , more or less . The opening song is kick ass .

[Dennis G]

looks interesting and I would like to see it. Do they speak english?

[UkrainianSpetsnaz]

no Russian. the english guy speaks english.

[DE_Six]

I saw that movie at the 2002 Montreal Film Festival. It was great, good acting, very nice photography. It is more of an action movie than historical movie, although the psychological aspect is very well rendered.
It was almost all Russian (except the Brit guy), but there were subtitles.
The opening scene was brutal! Sickening...

I also had the chance to meet the director Alexei Balabanov afterward, as well as the Brit actor (Ian something, can't remember) and Alexei Chadov, the other main actor, as they were meeting the press. Balabanov surprised me when he explained his opinion on the war, to say the least. The British actor also stressed the fact that the movie was shot very close to the actual combat zones, think it was in Daghestan (there was some fighting there not 10 years ago), but I'm not sure. That was quite freaky apparently, with armed groups nearby, you don't want them mistaking your actors and filmcrew for soldiers!

I tried to get the DVD, but online I could only find the Region 5 (CIS) version at places like Ozon.ru, so my DVD player won't read it (I'm Region 1) and the movie is not being distributed in North America AFAIK. I would kill to get the soundtrack CD, the score from Viacheslav Butusov and Deadushki(sp?) was awesome. If anybody hears about Region 1 DVD of it, please post about it. I tried to contact the publisher, CTB Films, but they couldn't help me.

[SeanAshi]

Was it a hit in Grozny?

[RuSoKaR]

Was it a hit in Grozny? rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl

Well it is a classic right now...
Really good movie, but have anyone seen Chestilishe?

[anonymous individual]

I have this movie on my com.... Anyway, it is a awesome movie. By the way, I feel sorry for that female English hostage. She looks rather like a Jew in a concentration camp. The best part of the movie is when the group starts to attack the terrorists' camp.

[Bulkowski]

what about Blockpost, I think that's what it's called :| ... I can't seem to ever find these movies online :) But they look very intersting, well, for me atleast ;)

[RuSoKaR]

Blockpost is a good movie but there are some new ones like Spetsnaz I & II which are REALLY good.

[RomanS]

By the end of the week, i will post some new photos from Chechnya.
Just for you guys.
Believe me, most of those you haven't seen yet.

[Russian Texan]

Blockpost is a good movie but there are some new ones like Spetsnaz I & II which are REALLY good.

Spetsnaz series are good if you are under 18, after that it becomes dumb and removed from reality :)

Russian version of "A Team" series

Do you mean that there is something better?

[Russian Texan]

I just like more realistic movies like "Blokpost"

[Javehn]

Blockpost nice movie .

How about Marsh Brosok ? A bit patriotic , but still very nice movie .

[Russian Texan]

No, not my type: too unrealistic. Although all of those are great to raise patriotism in 12 - 18 year olds

[anonymous individual]

I saw Marsh Brosok too!!! :D

[Javehn]

Yes , indeed Marsh Brosok is to much unreal movie . Opening scene - ambush on convoy is pretty nice (effects are ****) . Chistilishe was the best movie i ever saw about war . I offered it to our Co , as a part of educational movies packages (idea that was , to show soldiers movies like Private Ryan and Stuff) , but idea was cancelled ...

[UkrainianAmerican]

He and his friend escaping the captivity , but his friend is getting blown up . The fighter is revenging , when caching the head of the Chechen group in operation , and apparantly this Head of the group was former Major in Soviet army , fighting in Afganistan . And so on and so on ...

Capitalism is good. People, like myself, always benefits from it. ;)

[Dmitri]

Hey, what is the name of that movie, probably from about 80's, I think about VDV guys. It's kinda like they are participating in a major training excersise against other units, and it gets very serious. I'm talking about major strategic moves, people kicking some serious ass, interrogation. I think the story follows one team in VDV with some Lt. It was a good movie, unfortunately can't remember any details, it's been about 8-10 years :oops:
Oh, and I think that some people were even killed during that "excersise"

[Russian Texan]

That is one of my all time favorites :) "V zone osobogo vnimaniya"
There is also "Vzone osobogo vnimaniya 2"
If i ever find it, I'll definitely buy it.

[Dmitri]

Yeah, that it!! woot If you ever find it in USA, hollar at me man! BTW, was that the first one I described? Are both of them pretty good?

[Marmot1]

Damn, this thread is like putting salt into wounds. I've seen 'the blockpost' (I guess it's actually "Checkpoint" ) and I've been trying to find it and "the purgatory" for a long time. Just can't seem to find them anywhere :|

And now these new movies you guys are talking about, Voina etc. Any idea where one might find a divx 'backup' copy ? ;) Pleae PM if you have some sort of idea where I might get a copy of any of these movies p-)

What's the rifle that he's using? It looks almost like the British L85A1, but the picture is too grainy to be sure.

[impyRM03]

looks like a dragunov svd from here (funny angle makes it look much shorter?)

[SeanAshi]

I like that picture of the guy one hand on his Kalashnikov shooting the Chechen as he is walking by, that what Arnold Schwarzenegger would have done. ;)

[Grozny]

Is there a more reliable way to download this movie? I've been trying for days with eMule, and there is no sound to the movie.

I'd really like to see it and Chistilische. Advice?

спасибо

PermskiiOMON, Я знаю Вас от Кафе Черного флага. I posted as POMZ-2.

[Grozny]

Sending this one back to the top in the hopes that someone can help me get it.

Pretty please? :D
