This film essentially begins with a businessman by the name of "Michael Mason" (Christian Slater) being informed that an enormous sum of money has suddenly disappeared and that there are those in the Russian mafia who want to get their hands on it. So, after their threatening phone calls to Michael fail to get them what they want, they kill him under the mistaken assumption that his wife "Maya Letiniskaya" (Sofya Skya) knows where the money is being hidden. To that effect, they then plant some drugs in her home and, after a quick trial, use their sources within the prison system to compel her to talk. They also kidnap her child to gain even more leverage as well. What they don't realize, however, is that, having endured everything they can throw at her, Maya is not in a talking mood and is now determined to get revenge--one way or the other. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film had a certain amount of potential but, the longer the film progressed, the more unrealistic it became--and I eventually lost interest in it. Admittedly, there were some good parts to this movie. Unfortunately, they weren't good enough to overcome some of the other less-inspired scenes and I have rated this accordingly. Slightly below average.

Trying to Escape from the Russian Mafia
Unbelievable and Boring
First: the overdone use of flashbacks. Every good director could told us the story in under 10 minutes....not this one...he takes over halfe of the movie.
Second: Even if she is a ballerina...that doesn't mean she can do martial arts....or has any strenght to knock out a guy with it.
Third: They couldn't find any more actors looking like they are mobster...do they? Hell they even wear the same clothes. Only a big sign over their head reading *BAD GUY* head is missing.
Fourth: It is unbelievable...think about it...the girl just nearly bleed to death. She got 3 electro shocks to bring her back to life....and the next moment she can fight against 2 men?????
Sorry, but this a total waste of time. Watching it was only possible thanks to fast forward.
