Review – Archangel

The mystery set-up here is good. Daniel Craig stars as a Russian history professor who gets caught up in the search for secret documents Beria stole from Stalin on his deathbed. So instantly I was curious to know what could possibly be so horrible that a man who openly admitted to slaughtering millions of people would want to hide it? [spoiler alert] Once the mystery is unraveled, however, it turns into a Commie version of The Boys from Brazil. Overall this is a well-put-together piece. The story was entertaining, and I liked some of the location work. This isn’t the best Russian intrigue movie I’ve ever seen, but it’s far from the worst. Mildly amusing
