Furious (or in Russian “Legenda o Kolovrate) is a Russian movie which is well thought out, with a few new twists (Russian style) and also Russian weather (Napoleon and Hitler style)!

I is a really enjoyable movie, with the lead of Ilya Malakov carrying his role of soldier, father, leader wonderfully well; I will not tell his foible, but it does make for an interesting (if not totally original) aspect to the movie.

The fact is it is a Russian movie in Russian and Tatar, with what appears to be well put together subtitles, and has lots of humour balanced against a well-crafted story of 13 men fighting the Mongol hoards.  The music is by Tankian, and to quote his own words’ “For years I contemplated to compose for a film with epic musical proportions utilizing big orchestral, crazy rock and moving ethnic elements. In that sense, my dreams came true. I am extremely proud of my work on this film”.

Furious
Legenda o Kolovrate [Furious)

Furious is an epic, and can easily be talked about in the same breath as:

  • 7 Samurai
  • The Magnificent 7
  • 13 Assasins
  • 47 Ronin (to a lesser extent, as the story for this movie is wonderful, just the film didn’t quite live to expectations)
Furious

I recommend this Furious to anyone who loves a good story, great acting, humour, tears, Russian steppes weather…well just about anything.
