It gives You whole process of becoming an oligarch in Russia during the Gorbatchov time. The movie highlights one of the major problems of modern Russia: segregation between really reach and powerful people, oligarchs, and the others, the majority which is really poor.
Moreover it gives you the chance to understand where and how such people became reach. The majority of ordinary people in Russia considers them as just thieves who swindled with privatisation etc. Indeed the movie describes all the talent of really genial enterpreneur.
It's a really well-crafted movie with excellent actor play, great plot and producer work. It's not so predictable as it seems from the beginning so you will have pleasure to watch it. I watched it for several times and wouldn't mind to watch it again. Actually after this movie i started to look at modern politics in Russia from the different angle, and better understand Why someone is acting this or that way. Only this should be enough to watch it...
