The Quickie Movie Review 2001

Get your minds out of the gutter! Actually, this mob soap opera would have been a lot more fun if it had wallowed in the gutter itself. Conflicted Russian mobster Oleg (Mashkov) is celebrating his retirement with his family on New Year's Eve at their Malibu beach house. But Oleg has been targeted for extermination and maybe exterminator Lisa (Leigh), who is supposedly at the house to get rid of the vermin, is there to do the job. Bodrov's first English-language venture.
