I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
I'm sure people have seen enough of those so-called "Spaghetti" Westerns; THIS is what you could call a "Vodka" Western! The settings, costumes, and production design are all convincing. They fortunately have wide-ranging climates in the former Soviet Union, so if you wanna see the dusty, sun-baked Old West, this movie has it. It's a little disconcerting to hear those leathery cowboys speak Russian, but the authenticity makes up for it. ONE word of warning, though: Even though the movie's setting is the U.S. of A., the political ideology presented is pure Bolshevik.
