About the film

What it’s about

In 1990s Moscow, a black BMW races through the night, fleeing pursuit. Four friends become criminals after a chain of violent confrontations and shootings. With no way back, they rely on the powerful, reliable car to carry them away from the capital and into the harsh, lawless depths of the Russian provinces, where every road seems to lead only further into danger.

What hooks you

Pyotr Buslov directs a cast led by Vladimir Vdovichenkov, Andrey Merzlikin, Maksim Konovalov, and Sergey Gorobchenko. The film won a Nika Award for its music, composed by Sergey Shnurov, whose theme became a popular mobile phone ringtone after release. A comedic redub titled "Antibummer" was released by the STV film company, and a video game adaptation, "Bummer: Sorvannye Bashni," was developed by Gaijin Entertainment.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who likes crime dramas with a raw, realistic edge and stories of friendship under extreme pressure.
