"Rex" was seriously injured in Afghanistan, was captured, escaped and lived in a Tibetan monastery. Some years he wandered through the world, and finally back home. But peaceful work for him in Moscow was not.

He is recruited as an instructor at the military camp of a secret organization aiming to seize power. The recruits and the names, just numbers. So he became a "thirty".

After learning the secret of that endangered the existence of the organization, Rex and his brother, former special forces captain, run away valuable information.


Review


In ancient times UHF channels happened to me to see a "masterpiece" of the domestic thriller called "Rex-1:" thirty destroyed. " Discussed in this extraordinary creation of cinema, created by the writer-detektivschika Viktor Dotsenko, known for the series "Mad" tells itself about this very "wild" (Igor Livanov) - a former Special Forces soldier nicknamed Rex (their comrades, Mukhtar and Barbosa, he apparently lost in Afghanistan). Returning from the war, he falls into the clutches of an underground criminal organization and along with his brother (played by brother Aristarchus Livanov) decides to run.

Naturally, as it should be in any self-respecting action movie, this is an insidious villain in the person of Stanislaus Sadalsky who gathered a group of mercenaries sets out after deserters ...

Admittedly, a dozen years ago, the film struck me as just an ideal, it was just above the other classic representative of perestroika thriller - "Ameriken Fight." But it was necessary such as singing Alla, it happens that the "30 th destroy" accidentally caught my eye just a couple of weeks ago.

After this review, the picture, as militant, died once and for all.

Stilted dialogue, hilarious scene of skirmishes (machines apparently were not charged at all, even with blanks, so he had the "image" returns turned to colic funny) and stunts at about children, "Tadysch and vooot so my car flew off," or "and Then I just ba-bbah broke the window, "turn to throw a first-class comedy, which among other things perfectly through efforts to make young Livanov Van Dam, in the course are not only the memories of the great teacher (where he painted in the middle of Afghanistan?), but the habit shouts of "cue-rd" with each stroke.

In short, such a charge is positive from a deliberate view of "serious" and pathos thriller I have not got. Advise connoisseurs.

Movie review

One of the last works of the domestic adventure cinema Sergei Tarasov.


The action takes place during the Anglo-Boer War, and tied to the Treasure of Portuguese pirates. Movie has a lot of action, and traced a clear influence of foreign westerns. Some scenes are clearly refer to the famous film of the genre.

The main characters and the romantic line between several palely. But very successful colorful images of bandits, especially the ringleader, played by Alexander Inshakov. There is a picture and beautiful songs of composer Igor Kantyukova performed by Larissa Kandalova. All in all, a decent adventure in the spirit of westerns.

The film's protagonist Valera - gay guy from Moscow, who at age 19 learned a whole hell of war in Afghanistan, where he lost a leg. Returning from the war, he had no idea what a nightmare for him is just beginning ...


Review



In 1925, the famous American writer William Faulkner wrote the short story "The Leg." In this work, it was a young student at Oxford Devi, who was to take part in the First World War and lost a leg in battle. Surreal story describes the struggle with all the evil Davy, which arose in him during the war and took on a ghostly form.

In 1991, a young film director Nikita Tyagunov decides to withdraw his debut as a screen version of this story. Write the script, he asked a familiar playwright Kozhushanova Nadezhda, who decided that the plot of the story is easy to transfer to modern realities. Since Devi was Valery Martynov, and turned into the First World War in Afghanistan.

The main role Tyagunov chosen casually got to watch an obscure young student VGIK Ivan Ohlobystin. Thus, the "foot" - a film shot almost one debutant (director, cinematographer, lead actor, director picture). So notable for its success not only in the framework of the Russian kinoprostranstva, but also in numerous international festivals.

 See the "foot" I decided solely because Ohlobystin Ivan, whom I have always loved for its originality and some special magic that exude his kinopersonazhi from Parfen Rogozhin to the doctor Bykov, from an unnamed scout special person to advertiser Malyuta.

The film "leg" posmotrenny 20 years after its release, makes a very strange impression. At first he did not really like it. He shot in his favorite style Russian directors of the time: the strange music, intricate dialogue, surreal scenes. It is clear only that nothing is clear. Then I read the story of Faulkner and article about the film on Wikipedia, which explains a lot. 4 days after viewing, I realized that I can not let go of some of the scenes from the film, and especially the 10-minute dialogue Ohlobystin and Peter Mamonov. There is in this scene, something that goes deep into the soul and does not rest.

In short, this is a film about the senselessness of war and ruthlessness, about how the man who has passed through this hell, that he would never be able to live in the old way, and that the foot - this is not very strong that he to lose. Okhlobystin just perfect. Still, it's an amazing actor - a thin, lively, charming.

Advised to see "step" I do not presume. Russian films of the early 90's - this is a very material to the amateur. But if you like the aesthetics and style of shooting such films as "Assa", "Black Rose - Emblem of Sorrow", "referee", be sure to take a look and "foot." It is no wonder that it unconditionally accepted and loved, a veteran Afghan war.
