Imagine anticipating a Ken Loach film and being shown a Guy Ritchie movie.

Eddie Cockrell
Variety
The film is undone by sloppy plotting, over-deliberate writing and a few terrible ebbs in tone.

eye WEEKLY
Solidly made, timely and spotlighting a fine performance by Paddy Considine.

It's a quirky mix of incompetent bureaucrats and small time gangsters trying to carve a life in the new Russia.

This sad but intriguing premise wanes in a mish-mash of attempted Russian accents and clumsy storytelling.
