This film charts the rise and fall of Yuri Orlov, from his early days in the early 1980s in Little Odessa, selling guns to mobsters in his local neighbourhood, through to his ascension through the decade of excess and indulgence into the early 90s, where he forms a business partnership with an African warlord and his psychotic son. The film also charts his relationship through the years with his younger brother, his marriage to a famous model, his relentless pursuit by a determined federal agent and his inner demons that sway between his drive for success and the immorality of what he does.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Filmen sl\u00e5r ton med en g\u00e5ng. Den \u00f6ppnar med att vi f\u00e5r tr\u00e4ffa v\u00e5r “hj\u00e4lte”. Kameran n\u00e4rmar sig honom d\u00e4r han stold st\u00e5r i ett hav av tomhylsor. Under f\u00f6rtexten f\u00e5r vi f\u00f6lja en kulas “liv”. Fr\u00e5n produktionen till dess slutet i huvudet p\u00e5 en minder\u00e5rig i afrika. Hela filmen \u00e4r melankolisk med den ena uppg\u00e5ngen f\u00f6ljd av en nerg\u00e5ng. H\u00e4rligt film med att mycket bra budskap bakom. Rekommenderas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
