Three loosely defined bandit groups are up against each other, meshing with corrupt policemen and government officials. The film's elliptical plot hinges on the hunt for a briefcase of heroin. The prime players are Sergei (Alexei Panin) and Simon (Dmitry Dyuzhev), a pair of street enforcers for the local crime boss Mikhailych (Nikita Mikhalkov). While Sergei has a hint of brains behind his operating tactics, the truly moronic Simon is adept only with his trigger. Sergei and Simon have to deliver a suitcase full of heroin to Mikhalych or else they will be killed. For all the problems they meet on the way they have a single solution: a shot in the head. Ten years on, times have changed. Mikhalkov's character, no longer a crime boss, works as a security guard. Meanwhile, Sergei and Simon have gone with the flow and moved into politics, complete with an office fronting Red Square. 655 4 Fiction films 942 |2ddc |cVHS 260 Russia : |bSTV, |c2005. 041 rus 952 |00 |10 |40 |50 |70 |8FL |990337FL |bFL |d2016-11-25 |l0 |r2016-11-25 |w2016-11-25 |yVHS 920 01 VeN7KEo2 966 |cIn the Research Room
