I loved this movie. The setting was amazing - russia , cold , harsh prison , harsh jailer , harsh sewage system , fights were killer , amazing kick boxing / street fighting, etc , etc , etc.
The punishments were painful. But they tried to show how good russian people are. there were some heart warming scenes like when he's out all nite tied to a pole in & in the morning the inmates give him their warm clothes & vidka , & in the end when he unites the handicapped guy with his neice ( notice the music & the snow , etc ). Also the 1st encounter between the good guy & the bad guy in the dining room was thrilling. Well Done .
