Trivia
This movie is inspired by a true story, in which a French citizen in Siberia, Yoann Barbereau, director of the local branch of the Alliance française, was accused of pedophilia, based on very flimsy evidence. However, the writer/director did not acquire the rights of Barbereau's book and decided to write an action thriller instead of the very Kafkaesque original story. This was heavily criticized, both by Barbereau and by several critics during its release, as they felt the characters are very cliche and some story beats quite unbelievable.

Crazy credits
The title appears on screen in cyrillic script.

And his will to survive - well this is not a movie about boxing, so no pun intended. I assume you knew this anyway, but just wanted to make sure, you'd understand my method and my summary (head)lines. We have something that is based in reality or something that actually happened - I did not check what things were made up or exaggerated, in case you were wondering.

The movie is heightened for sure and has quite a few near misses and a lot of tension. You may be wondering what is happening at times, but the time frame and the timeline jumps are carefully chosen, so I reckon most will be able to follow ... well no pun intended again, since some in the movie seem unable to follow ... well the movie would not happen, if they did.

It may be a bit too long for its own good ... and I thought there was an ending 20-30 minutes before the movie actually ended ... we needed another highlight I assume ... can't just let the movie ... drown like that ...
