The most long-awaited picture of 2008, the release of which was repeatedly delayed, many domestic filmmakers called the action movie "Day D". Mikhail Porechenkov worked on the project as a leading actor and director-debutant in tandem with Ekaterina Pobedinskaya. The film “Day D” (2008) in critics' reviews is not accidentally baptized as the Russian adaptation of the cult film “Commando” with Arnold Schwarzenegger. The script of the tape literally literally repeats the narrative of the American action movie, although a domestic duet of playwrights, the Presnyakov brothers, was involved in working on it. In addition to Porechenkov, actors V. Verzhbitsky, A. Ursulyak, M. Trukhin and others were invited to the film “Day D” (2008).
"Commando" in Russian
The main character is Ivan, a retired major. To save the little daughter, he must liquidate the president of Estonia. The hero of Porechnikov should become a key figure in the insidious plan of the Estonian nationalist (Victor Verzhbitsky), who intends to unleash the war of the European Union against the Russian Federation. Naturally, the major does not intend to dance to the tune of the antagonist, so he arranges for the enemies a real Airborne Forces Day.
The plot is exclusively secondary and if it were not for the crazy pieces of the Presnyakov brothers, the tape would have lost the lion's share of its charm. The situation would not have been saved even by touching, but not too organic in the frame, Varvara Porechenkova. The actors of the film “Day D” (2008) noticed that the father and daughter kept themselves at ease in the process of creating the picture, they did not have to pretend, depicting mutual affection and tenderness.
Companion and foe
In addition to Porechenkov himself, Alexander Ursulyak and Victor Verzhbitsky are among the leading actors in the film “Day D” (2008) .
In the Russian version, the stewardess Aliya, who was played by Azerbaijani Alexandra Ursulyak, whose appearance is close to European beauty standards, helps the hero to free her. The actress definitely pleases the male part of the audience with her presence. Also, possessing an incomprehensible talent, the girl re-plays the leading actor in all respects, while surprisingly reminds the late Jeanne Friske from the group “Brilliant”. The daughter of the director Sergei Ursulyak is known to the public for the films “Time of the First” and the series “Bad Blood”, “Monogamous”, “Catherine. Takeoff".
Verzhbitsky plays an aggressive Estonian radical. The image of the actor is a little ridiculous, but can be positioned as a worthy response to Gary Oldman. The viewer remembers the performer in the films “The Siberian Barber”, “The Turkish Gambit” and, as the ominous Zebulon from “Night and Day Watch”.
Guest star
The actors of the film “Day D” (2008) were lucky to share the set with a specially invited guest - the Dutch world champion in fighting without rules, Bob Schreiber. He became the main partner of Porechenkov in hand-to-hand combat scenes. True, why Bob constantly shows the central character the language remains a mystery.
In general, according to the critics' verdict, the picture is a funny and kind film, perfect for a single viewing.
