Forest Guard

2004 · 1h 42m · Action, Romance

IMDb 5.8

Skip it. This Russian action-romance hybrid sounds like a paint-by-numbers thriller that's trying to juggle too many plot threads—escaped convict, dangerous hunt, corrupt officials, and a romance subplot—without the star power or buzz to pull it off. Unless you're specifically hunting for obscure Eastern European genre films, your night is better spent elsewhere.

Plot

In the hunting lodge on the outskirts of one-of-a-kind natural reserve lives game warden, Vasily Klintsov (Igor Lifanov), a young former captain from the special task force. A rich German businessman, in the company of the governor, comes to the nearby small town for hunting. Wild boar hunting is a risky and dangerous business. In addition, as ill luck would have it, a very dangerous criminal escapes from the closely located nearby maximum security penal colony. The hunt should be canceled. But the stakes for the bureaucrats are too high - the 'money bag' is prepared to invest in several large projects. Relying on the traditional Russian blind trust in sheer luck, the governor gives his OK for the hunt.
