Every year, whole series of multiseries projects are released on television screens, in which little-known actors are filmed. “Flint: Liberation” refers specifically to such projects: his ratings are low, and there are hardly any ardent fans among the audience. Nevertheless, such a series exists. Who shot it and what is it talking about?
The creators and the short plot of the series
The director of the serial film "Flint: Liberation" was made by Vladimir Epifantsev. He assigned himself the main role in this project, and other actors were invited to other roles.
Flint: Liberation is a sequel to the Flint series, which premiered in April 2012 on Channel One. In the first season, the main character - a certain Shamanov - fights against the injustice perpetrated by the authorities and criminal authorities. In the second season, Shamanov is asked to join in the investigation into the murder of a special forces group, and in the process he uncovers a whole gang of smugglers that lurks in the mountains. The film is filled with gunfights, battles, abductions and more.
The script for this action was written by Ivan Ugarov, who previously worked on the projects “Dog Work” and “Beagle”. Ugarov was helped by Arkady Vysotsky, the son of Vladimir Vysotsky, who today is mainly engaged in writing scripts for TV shows (detective Academy, crime film Forester).
Guest actors. Flint: Liberation and Vladimir Epifantsev in the title role
Vladimir Epifantsev began acting in films in the late 90s. His debut can be called the role of the Brother in the film Svetlana Baskova's "Green Elephant". Then the actor interrupted episodic roles in the projects “Border. Taiga novel ”,“ Five bottles of vodka ”,“ Turkish March ”and“ Antikiller 2 ”.
In 2004, Vladimir was lucky to get the main role in Vadim Ostrovsky's spy film "Attempt". Then he became the star of the mystical detective “The Full Moon”, in which Igor Bochkin, Maria Poroshina and other actors were involved.
Flint: Liberation is Epifantsev’s second directorial experience, as he also directed the first season of the series. Vladimir also played a major role in this project - the former military Andrei Shamanov, who retired and lives quietly with his wife. But the old comrade turns to Shamanov for help, and he, of course, cannot refuse. His investigation results in the abduction of his beloved woman. As a true hero, Shamanov rescues a hostage and destroys all criminals.
Flint: Liberation: actors and roles. Anastasia Vedenskaya as Nastya
Anastasia Vedenskaya began her career with the main role in the military film “A Long Life”. Her heroine passionately loved two young people, but both of them went to the front during the Great Patriotic War. On the set of this picture, Vedenskaya first met Epifantsev, who later became her husband.
Then there were the projects “Poor relatives”, “Brothers 3”, “Flint” and “Live further”. Since 2013, Anastasia increasingly began to entrust the central characters in the cinema. She starred in the melodramas Believe Me, Family Happiness and Fighters. The last battle".
In the series Flint: Liberation, the actors Epifantsev and Vedenskaya played a married couple. Vedenskaya in this film had a rather simple task: first to become a victim, who is shamelessly kidnapped, and then a romantic heroine, whom her lover frees.

Viewers reviews
Feedback from the audience does not sound very flattering to the series "Flint-2: Liberation."
Actors, according to viewers, got involved in utter nonsense. Already pretty annoying are the scenes in which the next “Rambo” shoots opponents in batches, but an entire army of mercenaries cannot get into it, although it does not even hide from bullets. But there is a separate category of viewers that recognizes that the plot is banal, but does not complain about its performance.
In a word, everyone can risk watching this series, but if something happens then you need to blame yourself only.
