I saw this movie only once and I guess it's not so boring(I was watching it not since the very beginning, it may be the reason) as some people had already said. I'm not greatly familiar with Swedish or Dutch actors that's why my sight was caught by Isabella Scorupco and Alexander Domogarov,I like and respect him much. I agree, movie has big holes in the plot, little bit stereotypic heroes, false story about Russian mob. I'm Russian and I felt the lack of emotions, though it may be the peculiarity of North. The great thing ,I can thank authors for, is genuinly caught the features of Russian temper - this ability to be on maximum point of feelings, nevermind whether it's love or hatred. As one American said: "Stupid but very romantic". The end is also charming. Domogarov's hero could take Scorupco's hero as hostage and try to deal with his enemy, but he shot himself and sank, and before he said he loved her. I'm not crazy about stupid romantical movies but this one I liked. Nice , charming and I don't think my evening was wasted.
