This review is from: Back in the U.S.S.R. [Region 2] (DVD)

Okay, It isn't a box office Hit! That said, It is an enjoyable film if you want to be entertained. It is a thriller with some quirky comedy and some fantastic views of Moscow and its environs. You go with the main character as he tries to figure out what is happening. Can anyone really take Frank Whaley seriously as a romantic lead? In this he sort of pulls it off though. You do sort of feel for him with all the trouble he gets mixed up in in the film. Natalia Nagoda is great. There are alot of quirky characters and events in this film. If you are familiar with the Russian mindset you can appreciate this movie. Just go into it with a not too serious attitude. If you want Dr. Zhivago then watch it instead. It is a Roman Polanski film. I don't think he takes himself too seriously, but he is a great director.

This review is from: Back in the Ussr [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Not at all a well done thriller boring and rather unclear about a young man`s visit to russia and is mistaken for a killer. Too many loopholes with the plot to be actually taken seroisley. A bad film all the way not worth anything to write about it.
