“伊卡罗斯”是龙格尔所扮演的杀手的代号，只有部分人知道伊卡洛斯这个代号，而其他人只知道他是个已经离婚的单身父亲，工作在一家投资公司。大多数人都没有看到伊卡罗斯的阴暗面，他总是在杀人时表现最佳。多年来他以潜伏特工的秘密电影身份工作在美国，但当其苏维埃祖国解体后，他感到孤立无援。他试图摆脱过去，但有些人不能放过他。伊卡罗斯只好为了家庭妻儿，开始搏杀。TherewerethosewhocalledhimIcarus.Everyoneelseknewhimasadivorcedfatherworkingforaninvestmentcompany.Buttheydidn’tknowhisotherside-hisdarkside.BecauseIcaruswasathisbestwhenhewaskillingpeople.Foryears,he’dworkedasasleeperagentinAmerica-butwhentheSovietEmpirecollapsed,hefoundhimselfinaforeigncountrywithnoonetotrust.Determinedtobreakfromhisdarkpast,hestartedoverwithanewidentity.Butyoucanonlyescapeyourpastforsolong.WhenasuddenmishapinHongKongblowsIcarus’identity,pastandpresentcollide-andtheassassinrealizesheisnowthetarget.Thepeoplethatwanthimdeadwillstopatnothingtogettohim.Andthatmeansgoingafterwhathecaresaboutmost-hiswifeanddaughter.Fightingforhislife,Icarusisforcedtofacethedemonsofhispasttoprotectthelovedonesinhispresent.Hemustfighttosavetheonlythinghe’severdonerightinhislife.Heneedstouncoverwhoisafterhimandprotecthisfamily-beforeit’stoolate. 本片讲述了二战中的一个著名故事。1941年德军集结了最精良部队对莫斯科发动了号称“台风”的强大攻势，目标是在冬季来临前攻下这座城市。苏军“潘菲洛夫步兵师”的28名士兵用仅有1门45毫米反坦克炮、几支反坦克步枪、反坦克手榴弹和燃烧瓶阻挡了这支野心勃勃的侵略之军，以整个连队只幸存5人的巨大代价阻止了德军的进攻，保卫了莫斯科。 LikeFritzLang,DavidFincherorBongJoonHobeforehim,talenteddebutfilmmakerLadoKvataniyausestheconceptofpolicedetectivevsserialkillerforanexcitinglystylised,macabreandhauntingnarrative,thatultimatelyrevolvesaroundtheidentityofanera:inthiscase,thelate1980sSovietUnion.WithGlasnostandtheendofcommunistrule,theWestalsolearnedofthe(unsurprising)factthattherewereserialkillersinRussiatoo–themostnotoriouscaseprobablythatofAndreiChikatilo,nicknamedtheRostovRipper,ortheRussianHannibalLecter.Basedontheseandmanyothersources,KvataniyaandscreenwriterOlgaGorodetskayaconstructedanimmersivepsychologicalpuzzle,jumpingbackandforthintime,torevealevernew-possiblemotivesfortheactionsofalltheprotagonists.Itallstartsin1990,whenDetectiveIssaDavydoviscelebratinghispromotionandreceivesacall,reportingacrimethatlookspreciselyliketheonesoftheserialkillerthathefamouslycapturedsomeyearsbefore...
