Brother 1 is an amazing film, that I had the opportunity to watch with English subtitles. It is a perfect embodiment of how Russia was in the 1990s - but also a perfect representation of how brotherly love can manifest itself. This allows it to have a deep story, whilst being packed with action and story. Each and every character is very personable - even minor characters like the German, and Krugliy is a great villain who we are made to dislike and be against. Yet at the same time, this film shows us that murder does not come without consequences - and that Danila Bagrov is also human, with human relationships.
