Well, what can I say? I started watching the series because of the IMDb rating of 8.6. I almost quit because of the quality of the movie, it lacks it: actors overact and dialogs are simplistic. But I kept watching it for the story, it is relatively engaging. If you can read Russian read this review: http://www.valeryshiryaev.ru/short/published/various/54.html?p=1. It's the best review I could find on the internet. Don't believe the hype about this movie, it's just a movie about 4 guys who become bandits, engage in racketeering, kill people left and right, traffic drugs, traffic guns and so on and so forth. Main characters are supposed to be these charismatic honorable men who were just forced to become bandits. In reality, what you get are 4 simpletons that constantly get drunk, get stoned, cheat on their wives, and kill (supposedly bad) people. To be fair there are some nice detective sub-plots that can intrigue a viewer. Just remember: it's far from being a masterpiece!
