Since the '90s, Russia has been going through a massive reshuffle of power in both politics and business. These processes haven't really quieted down even now, and we often hear in the news about various enterprises changing hands through militarized takeovers that have nothing to do with the law. The film "Russkiy Reyd" dives into these issues, offering a no-compromise look at the reality of the situation.
A group of well-trained fighters is tasked with taking over a factory. Leading the team is Nikita, a former special forces soldier. He has a special role in this mission, but no one could have predicted what he would do next.
Nikita couldn't care less about the factory or his own gain. What matters to him is avenging those who caused him and his loved ones great pain. It seems that he has come to settle a personal score and will stop at nothing until he has punished each and every one on his list.
First off, I've got to mention the film's stylish, hard-hitting atmosphere. The action is seriously impressive and takes up a huge chunk of the runtime. The main character is tough and fierce-definitely not someone I'd want as my enemy. Plus, he handles some solid dramatic moments alongside the fight scenes.
Overall, I'd recommend "Russkiy Reyd" to anyone who enjoys good action flicks. It also does a great job showcasing the issue of illegal takeovers. Unfortunately, these things are still happening today, and it's definitely worth talking about.
