Moscow Zero, an action/suspense title, came to dvd on November 4, 2008. A lower budget film, this title does a commendable job with a good cast, interesting setting, and a story that hasn't been seen a dozen times before.Moscow Zero has a cast that did a fairly good job. I personally felt that Oksana Akinshina, who plays the girl in this movie, stood above the rest with her youth not getting in the way of her understanding her part and delivering some convincing acting. Val Kilmer was in this film and I had hoped that he would do a little better than he did, but I would vote his performance as satisfatory for his role and the constraints that the dialogue put on him.
The story of Moscow Zero was interesting and it probably helps that I have a bias towards liking movies and television that deal with spiritual and religious topics and ideas. Sadly, the script itself seemed to lack and the film as a whole was somewhat of a bore, at fault of the scripts dialogue.
This is classified as an action/suspense film but I felt that both were fairly lacking. If you go out and get it expecting it to be an action packed movie with explosions and intense gunfights, or are looking for something to keep you on edge and guessing what will happen next, you will probably be disappointed or fall asleep. If you are looking for a film with a good story idea, some religious subject matter, and actors that do a decent job at trying to make the best of the dialogue they are given, then Moscow Zero is a dvd that you might want to look at.
The Short Version: Moscow Zero will put you to sleep if you are looking for a traditional Hollywood dose of action and suspense but should keep you interested if you like actors working well with what they are given and story that is good if you can get past the script.
