Blind Man’s Bluff Movie Reviews

Godlike!

This is truly the best Russuian movie since Brat 2. It is very realistic, bloody, and it precisely depicts one of the most dramatical episodes of the history of the modern Russia. Directing is flawless, the usual Balabanov style rocks. Acting is just superb, especially part by Dmirty Dyzhev, who played psycho hit-man – the new version of fairy-tale folk hero Ivan. All other parts, even the smallest ones, are played by the top Russian actors – Nikita Mihalkov, Viktor Sukhorukov, Andrej Merzlikin, Sergei Makovetskij, you name them. The movie has tons of black humor, but the best episode is the one, in which gangsters with “strategic vision” become member of the Russian Parliament, and those without it lose everything. The soundtrack, consisting of Russian gangster-era pop and alternative, is just as good as OST from “Brat 2”. So, to sum up – a true modern masterpiece!

“Blind Man’s Bluff” is not an appropriate title

This movie is not a fictitious brainwash like “Reservoir Dogs” or “Pulp Fiction” (personally got nothing against both these entertaining titles but they are made for fun) – it’s more like a history lesson, more like “Tora! Tora! Tora!”. It would be so funny, if it were not so tragic. It is one of a very few modern Russian films, which deserve respect and consideration. Don’t let the bloody scenes distract your attention from the essential ideas. “Nightmare, bloody festival, ridiculous mess-up…”? No way. It’s our reality. Get a load, if you can carry.

A little boy’s visit to the morgue and his father’s words at the very beginning of the movie are priceless.

9 out of 10 easily (minus 1 point, because it’s a very “national” experience, which, foreigners will not be able to grasp and evaluate properly). Thank you for attention.

Guy Ritchie’s movie in Russian

The movie shows how modern authority figures gained their power and capital. A lot of them came from not so clean jobs and the movies shows details of that.

Two guys – Simon (Duzhev) and Sergey (Aleksey Panin) – are working for a local mobster (Mikhalkov) as negotiators (extortion specialists actually) and killers. They are not brain surgeons and are quick to pull out a gun, which always puts them in different awkward situations. Considering there are competitors such as crooked cop, local dumb criminals and other low-life element, Simon and Sergey are in for a fun ride… Expect lot of gunshots and a sea of blood.

The movie has gathered a great number of Russian cinema stars even in episodic roles (Andrey Panin is an architect, Andrey Krasko is an unlucky neighbor, Dmitriy Pevtzov is a drug-dealing lawyer, etc.), which makes the movie so much fun to watch. Under a virtuoso management of the director Aleksey Balaganov all characters are simply dumb and extremely standardized, which makes it look like a joke.

Just like Guy Ritchie’s movies this one can not really be taken too seriously. On the other hand it’s too much dark humor and too much blood to be considered a comedy.

Just keep in mind that it is a true biography of some today’s Russian politicians. Perhaps, that will leave you thinking.

p.s. “The Russian Ethiopian” is absolutely hilarious!
