Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Police Major Igor Grom is known throughout St. Petersburg for his punchy character and uncompromising attitude towards criminals of all stripes. Incredible strength, analytical mindset and integrity — all this makes Major Thunder a real superhero. His life is perfect: during the day he catches criminals with his partner Dima Dubin, and spends the evenings in the company of journalist Yulia Pchelkina. The complete idyll is interrupted by the appearance in the city of a mysterious villain calling himself a Ghost. He offers Thunder to play a dangerous game, the stake in which is the lives of ordinary people.

Major Grom: The Game feels cluttered. This film tries to do too much, getting so tangled up in its varied story elements and exposition, it looses any clear sense of direction. The results a rather busy, somewhat frustrating watch there never really goes anywhere terribly interesting, with a thoroughly anti-climatic ending. Its a shame too, as there are some good ideas on show, acting and action is polished and CGI top notch. In summary, had the script taken a cleaner, simple approach, setting limits on the diverse aspects of this story, then this could have worked extremely well. As it stands it feels cluttered and anti climatic. Suffice to say, a rather mediocre watch.
