  Konstantin Maximov starts off on the right foot with <i>Interceptor</i>, but rapidly loses ground and never recovers.<p>The story has got some interesting components behind it, while it crosses between action, sci-fi, and fantasy; however, as a whole the film is lackluster, even with a run time under 90 minutes. Explanations for various elements aren't deep enough which ends up leaving the story a little difficult to piece together.</p><p>The ample amount of effects are a mixed bag, although some of the visuals are quite amusing. The choreography for the action is noteworthy, but not exactly memorable. The sound effects for these segments are also a disappointment, as they fail to add that extra intensity to the hits.</p><p>Much like the bland tone of the film, the acting comes across as lifeless. A lot of the line delivery is monotone, while the characters lack sufficient development. At least Igor Petrenko has the look of a fighting hero.</p><p><i>Interceptor</i> is a Russian film that gets by with some of its visuals and not much of anything else. Feel free to move on to the next movie.</p>
