Violence remains

For the director's name and the 8.0 rating on imdb, after watching it, I have to say that my disappointment is greater than my hope. I don't know if it's because of my poor understanding, the story is not complicated, but what the director wants to express is completely at a loss. If it's violence, save for a few throat cuts and that bathroom fight (probably the only one that impresses, and of course Viggo's full body tattoos), the rest is a bland narrative, no The ups and downs of the plot, the rhythm is also slow. The English-speaking Russian dialogue also makes people uncomfortable, and the translation is also a reason, which indirectly affects the understanding of the film.

    Uncle V is really handsome! The generous nude fight really stunned me~ and the "emotional line" between the male second and the male protagonist is also very intriguing

    In fact, it is quite inexplicable to me, what is the psychological and what role of the male protagonist, it is always in the dark.
