I was ignoring Brigada for almost three years because I'm sick of 5 Russian soap operas on each channel each night. But thanks to insomnia, I stumbled across the re-run and my God, nobody expected technical perfection, but I started to wonder if creators of the movie contacted real "bratva" to add realism. I'm recognizing gestures, sayings, places, manner to act, altitudes, everything. I know nothing about "lawless" part of life, but "law" part of life is reflected with frightening accuracy. Because "I-know-the-person-who-would-say-exactly-the-same" feeling doesn't come often to me. And Kos... Kos is just Kos the way he is. lol
I don't like Al Pacino and Italian movies parallels though. It's like comparing hamburger and old good sandwich with Moskovskaya salami. It has the same purpose -- to feed -- but then similarities end and national specifics come into play. Watch the way it happens here as we know it in other words.
