Critics Consensus: Wants to be The Godfather, but the movie's Citizen Kane-style narrative limits its effectiveness.

The movie's Citizen Kane-style narrative sometimes works against it, and a lack of coherence is often frustrating. Despite this, Tycoon does land a few punches while telling a story that is distinctly Russian.
Although Lounguine has a lot to say about Russia's struggle in its transition to global capitalism, his film is strangely uninvolving, lacking dramatic sweep.
The movie is handicapped by a jittery editing style that prevents us from getting involved in the flow of the narrative.
A meaty, well-crafted thriller that absorbs and disturbs you from first frame to last.
The combination of historical sweep and the need to read subtitles doesn't allow for the kind of subtle character portrayal that made the Godfather series, but Mashkov is a major force as Platon.
An uneven political thriller that suffers mostly from a highly convoluted story line.
A twisty, propulsive movie... sort of reminiscent of the Moscow Noir collection, really.
The filmmakers would have been better off with a more direct, linear story line that might have allowed for some real character development.
A criminally unimaginative gangster story based on the life of notorious high-roller billionaire entrepreneur Boris Berezovsky.
The combination of arresting melodrama and eye-opening editorial commentary really works.
Wants to be a Russian version of 'Citizen Kane,' but it's more like 'Mr. Arkadin'...a film of modest accomplishment and equally modest interest.
It's worth watching to see Plato grow into his power.
