Tribeca - Playing the Victim
What the fuck. I mean seriously, the Russian film industry, smoking some major crack. This film is completely cracked out. And not a good trippy kind of cracked out. This film is slow, uninteresting, and completely pointless. It does, I will confess, have some hilarious moments. The head investigator kicking the giant inflatable rubber ducky around the indoor pool: funny moment. The head investigator trying to eat comprehend sushi and spitting sake all over the floor: funny. The outright lunacy of this police division using a camera to try and ‘reenact’ crimes that have happened for no apparent reason (since in almost every case the killer has confessed): somewhat amusing in a nihilistic Russian way. Sitting through an hour-an-a-half to get to these good bits: very painful. Two out of five, only for the funny bits.
