Plot:
An investigator on the Moscow police force relentlessly pursues the solution to a triple homicide which occurred in Moscow's Gorky Park. He finds that no one really wants him to solve the crime becaus...( read more

I never understood MGM (and Hollywood's) fascination with movies in the USSR. Were they trying to market to their audiences? Or were they simply saying "We are communists?"
Very typical 80s British slow-burn crime thriller, with the Moscow setting and Russian characters just a gimmick. It was filmed in Helsinki, and the protagonist would've made a perfect James Bond, watch it for 80s nostalgia rather than Russian culture.
It's not without its flaws (especially as it's all filmed in Finland rather than Russia) but "Gorky Park" was one of the "must see" films of the 80s. Some of the action is a little bit rushed and, unlike the book, the plot tends to lurch along rather than develop smoothly. William Hurt does a good job with the material available though.
Before "The Wind Of Change" A Good Movie, Fiction Based On A Bestselling. Malice, Mystery, Murder & Marvin.
I love this film. Very well acted and the Russian angle gives the movie a big boost. Some stuff was radical when it first came out.
One of my favourite thrillers. William Hurt is well cast in the role as the dedicated Russian police officer. I'd watch it again, although the mystery has gone somewhat
I am a fan of William Hurt's and he is quite good in this moody thriller from the late Cold-War era. Good plot, nicely and suitably bleak Moscow winter atmosphere, good performances, and a wonderfully slithery cameo from Lee Marvin... It all adds up to a pretty good couple of hours at the movies, and is definitely worth watching...
A really disturbing film when it came out. Some of it's really over the top, some of it is really cool. Based on a true story. I saw this when i was very young. The thing was that the box's only reveiw was from "Playboy Magazine"... which confused me when i was young.
Such a disappointment when compared to the excellent novel. I love that book! Bit Eighties to be honest. Looks like every other thriller from that decade and WHY OH WHY do they all have to have American and English accents when its set in Russia FFS! It just isnt convincing! Ruined what should have been an excellent storyline basically.
