Igor Grom, a skilled detective from St. Petersburg, happened to be at the scene of a bank robbery and decides to stop them.
This is a short film based on a comic book series from Russian publishers Bubble Comics about a super-heroic Moscow cop. Packs a lot into it's half-hour running time, with a couple of effective twists, a great fight scene that's seemingly shot in a single continuous take (though there must be a few hidden cuts in there) as the camera repeatedly spins 360 degrees around the combatants, and an impressively filmed stunt sequence as Grom pursues a criminal across the very high rafters of an abandoned building. There's also a pleasing vein of meta humour throughout ("I must work on my punchlines" mutters Grom after dispatching a villain and realising he's got nothing witty to say) including a sequence that pokes fun at the TRANSPORTER franchise, and - in a nod to fans of the original comic book - a last second cameo by Grom's arch-nemesis. Recommended.
"Mayor Grom" is a short film from Russia that runs for slightly under half an hour and has managed to get millions of views on Youtube despite being only two weeks old now. The writer and director is Vladimir Besedin and this is his very first work, also as a producer. The plot description here on IMDb is incorrect really as this film is about a super-strong and super-fast police officer, namely the title character, who takes care of a bunch of bank robbers all wearing clown masks. Probably not a coincidence this joker reference. Anyway, the first half was fairly solid, but the second half that basically only consists of chase scenes is really forgettable. The introduction of the title character at the end through the newscaster is slightly better again. However, overall, it was not a particularly good, let alone memorable watch. If you don't speak Russian, then make sure you got subtitles, even if there is not that much dialogue in here. Maybe one of the films biggest strengths and problems at the very same time was how American it looked, so it seemed like a forgettable copy on many occasions and that it lacked individualism too. Watch something else instead I guess.
