The plot is good and has a twist that while formulaic was still fun. The music is great! The actors are fabulous - all of them. My ear is more tuned to to French, Italian and Scandinavians. That being said, I admit that Russian is a challenging language to listen to for an American. I watched it in Russian with English subtitles, which for me is how I prefer to watch foreign movies and TV shows. I enjoyed it immensely and recommend it absolutely.

The plague doctor netflix movie#

Over the span of two days I watched (on Netflix) a terrible movie called 'Cosmic Sin' (I won't even bother to review it - what a waste of time) and Major Grom: Plague Doctor.

And it is fun! Probably the very first real Russian superhero movie that really made it! I'll say it again, this is a just a very well made movie. It runs along a different kind of track, and it has different climax points and unexpected turns. Together, the hero and the city background make the most wonderful mix! As for the story, it is much different from those done by Marvel or DC. But the rest is just a thick layer of everyday Saint-Petersburg life smeared over slices of the most truthfully taken city center. You will find other references to Gotham, too: the police department, for example, and some other places, which are totally unrealistic for Russia. You may think of him as a total anti-Batman: he wears no mask, owns no money (lives in poverty literally), has no fame, but he acts in absolutely the same manner as Bruce Wayne: using his brain, and his knuckles, and never taking a life. But this one time they did it! Igor Gromov (Grom ~ Thunder) is a superhero without superpowers. well, let's be frank, Russians do not know anything of comic books and superheros. Second, this is a real superhero movie, a fact even more surprising, taken that. No, really, it's fun! First, it is a really well-made piece of filming. I never expected it to be anything that good.
