I'm glad I got to watch this film. I saw it on DVD and I'm usually not fond of watching anything on DVD unless it's a film that I really wanted to watch and I missed it in theatres or it wasn't shown theatrically. What I liked about it was the tight storyline, the strong acting and all the ways the film engaged me. One could view it as a love story. Or a drama thriller about the Russian mafia. While I wasn't 100% blown away by this film because I thought some plot points seem too convenient to service the plot, but I was nevertheless pretty much strongly impressed. Acting and directing is top notch.
