Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
A true story about a man who created a system of self-defense basing on martial arts practices of different eastern nationalities inhabiting territory of the former Soviet Union. Known as SAMBO (abbreviation of Self-Defense Without Weapons) this system became on of the most effective military, police and special forces mandatory part of education. Many original techniques are demonstrated. Perfect to those who are interested in martial arts history.
