Deadly Code 7.8 / 10
from IMDB.com:
Deadly Code is a crime drama based on the memoir Siberian Education by Russian writer
Nicolai Lilin.
In the movie, two-time Academy Award nominee
John Malkovich (Red) stars as the patriarch of a Siberian criminal clan who is banished to live in the punishment town of Transnistria in 1985. There, he schools his grandson on the “honest criminal” code of their community, which must never be broken.
good story about 2 siberian kids growing up in a small russian community. based on a memoir, its enjoyable to watch but I figured out some things before they happened, so maybe the writing wasnt all that as I usually figure things out as / after they happen on screen.
the issue i've read in reviews is the inaccuracy of the portrayal of siberians in a Ukra community. As another commenter pointed out, its not a documentary, so creative liberties will be taken.
I decided to watch it because John Malkovich was in it and I was rather pleased with another movie he was in (Bullet Head) so I decided to take a chance on this one. May have to start looking up some other films he's acted in that I havent watched yet.
