Featured review
A beautiful daughter of a poweful soviet general is lonely, pregnant and desperately looking for a man. Not for a man of her dream but just for about anybody. Even her personal driver would be OK. Sounds strange? It's not over yet.
The driver is given his assignment without any background check. The general picks him up like a seashell on a shore and he doesn't mind him going after his beloved daughter. The driver is also threatened to regret his deeds if he doesn't take his approach seriously.
At this point you might stop watching this crap but you would miss the following plot gems: a record-breaking time for a child birth, the driver mating around on premises despite the warning, a cuban soldier abusing russian girls on cruise ship, the driver holding his car with bare hands while it's hanging over the abyss, a mighty KGB screwing up its operations by doing stupid (if not insane) things, a car chase ending with escape of unarmed and unskilled person from men in chemical protective suits, etc.
All of this is to remind you how USSR government was bad to its law abiding citizens.
As to pure cinema values this film definitely has one in Alyona Babenko. Her beauty is in 10 stars range so she balances everything else and I gave it 3 after calculating the average ))
