2/5
A ropey film can be saved by a great ending; this is not that movie, but the closing scene is unexpectedly moving. Go to Full Review
James Perkins Starburst Jan 13, 2021
3/5
A solid sci-fi action film from Russia that proves that they have good ideas but haven't quite perfected the formula just yet with a clunky first two acts. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
There are some intriguing angles in the premise, and the elaborate story details offer some social commentary, but it begins to feel bombastic and indulgent as it goes on. Go to Full Review
Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Dec 28, 2020
2.5/5
It's clumsily paced in places and relies a lot on the preexisting assumptions of fans, but at its best it's still a pretty good action romp with bigger than average ideas. Go to Full Review
Kat Hughes THN Dec 23, 2020
3/5

Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia Dec 21, 2020
Egor Baranov's film keeps you guessing until the very end. Constantly defying expectations and taking the plot in unusual and unexpected directions Go to Full Review
