Review – Gorky Park

For the most part, this is just another rather uninteresting murder mystery with equally dull international intrigue thrown in for good measure. However, the thing that impressed me enough about this movie to make me want to re-watch it was the backdrop, the whole bleak, cold war Soviet Russia thing that works so well here. William Hurt heads a cast that does a decent job with the story of a Moscow police officer trying to track down a killer who murdered three people and then removed their faces to prevent identification. Though I didn’t get much out of the plot, I did enjoy the look and feel of the movie. Oh, and I also liked the sables at the end. Mildly amusing
