The actors who starred in it showed in great detail how the investigation of many crimes of our time is going on. The series "Moscow Greyhound", all of which is the highest class detective today, is a Russian crime melodrama that has attracted the attention of viewers from the very first shots.
How it all began ...
Admirers of this kind of paintings were able to see a new story thanks to the director Roman Prosvirnin. The series "Moscow Greyhound" (the reviews speak for itself) tells about Alevtina Borzova - an incredibly valuable employee of the MUR and just an attractive woman. She rose to the rank of major and never crossed her mind that one day she would have to change her place of residence, place of work. This is a very smart, purposeful woman, not without a female charm.
Alya was sure that her office in the MUR would remain her, that it was in these walls that she would receive the next ranks. She is in love, she has a beautiful romance. But her man is married. The life circumstances of Alevtina were so, this man turned out to be the son-in-law of her boss. And she had to quit her job.
The new life of the main character
"Moscow Greyhound" - a series in which the actors were selected in a very thorough manner, really fascinating and interesting. After dismissal from her favorite job, Alevtina begins a new life. General Grishin, played by Vladimir Litvinov, advised her to head the department for particularly serious crimes. But not in the capital, but in Nizhny Novgorod. Borzova accepted his offer: at that moment she simply could not stay in her hometown. Yes, and did not want to, because every day lived now gave her a lot of pain.
What do the Nizhny Novgorod people say?
So, probably already, it became clear to the majority that two cities were chosen - Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod - for filming the painting “Moscow Greyhound”. Reviews of Nizhny Novgorod about the series were enthusiastic because they were able to star in extras.
They forever remembered the friendly and very warm atmosphere that reigned on the set for all the weeks of work. And these two cities were chosen because it was in them, according to the scenario, that the main character of the picture worked.
Chkalov also starred
What else was shown by the Moscow Greyhound series? Reviews about this film immediately after the release of the first series flooded the Internet.
By the way, the Nizhny Novgorod group under the historical name Chkalov also got into the frame. The guys starred as musicians who played at a wedding celebration. At the end of the work on the painting, they shared their impressions and recalled that they had to do about forty takes before it turned out as the musical director of the painting came up with. The performed song was poppy, one might even say that it’s a courtyard. Nevertheless, humor was in it too.
Voice of the people: interesting and realistic
Reviews on the series "Moscow Greyhound" (2015 the year is the time when the shooting took place) they say that despite the fact that this is a criminal melodrama, the audience’s attention is focused on the ups and downs of the plot. The story is interesting and intriguing. The main character was played by actress Olga Krasko. It was she who proved to lovers of detective stories that a police major can be not only an excellent professional, not only a master of her craft, but also just a beautiful woman in love, dreaming of ordinary happiness.
The plot of the picture is quite light, even though it is not a comedy. It is very interesting to watch all the events taking place, especially since in addition to the detective line, the film also has a love line that fits perfectly into the whole canvas. The image of the main character is also well-kept: Krasko played quite realistically and emotionally.
The opinion of the people: a woman at the head of the men's team
Despite the fact that this picture was released relatively recently, reviews of the series Moscow Greyhound »(2016 - the year when the film was first presented to the audience) have already been written in huge numbers. Some lovers of detective stories, first of all, were interested in the name of the picture and the fact that the main character in it is a woman. And if the series is watched by a representative of the beautiful half of humanity, then it is really very interesting for her to observe how a female boss brings order among male subordinates.
And it was really quite difficult: four completely different men, each with their own character, their own habits in conducting investigations, and besides, they are all united in that they do not have warm feelings for Borzova. And yet, over time, not immediately, of course, Alevtina’s persistent character helped her to establish normal relations in a small team and change the negative attitude of male colleagues towards her.
Sitting in front of the screen, participating in action
The storyline is interesting, captures the attention of viewers from the very first series. And immediately there is sympathy and respect for the main character. It’s just that she’s not lucky in love, for some reason only losers and villains are found on her path. In addition, the plot is designed in such a way that you involuntarily imagine yourself as a direct participant in those events that occur on the screen.
In each series of this picture, fascinating (even despite the fact that it is a detective) events take place that are much more dynamic than in other similar films. And amazing views of Nizhny Novgorod adorned all twenty episodes of the painting.
Leader
After Alevtina moved to a new city and started working in a new team, she realized that you should not expect a warm welcome. At the head of the men's team, which she will now have to lead, is Maxim Reshetnikov, who resolutely refuses to agree with the actions of the new leadership and is not going to obey Ale.
Such an attitude towards Borzova at the very beginning of history is shown by Moscow Greyhound, the series. Actors who went to the set of this picture (Sergey Mukhin, Alexander Ratnikov, Nikolai Lunin and others) tried to make the audience subsequently believe that everything they saw on the screen was going on for real.
And the ardent revolutionary, struggling to resist Alevtina Sergeyevna, was played by Oleg Almazov, in whose filmography there are about 130 roles.
Viewer Reviews: Useful for Business
Indeed, with a quick addiction to the heroes, the series “Moscow Greyhound” turned out. Reviews it is testified that all characters are liked, evoking genuine sympathy. At the beginning of the film, we are talking about the fact that an excellent professional was sent into exile for a harsh offense in the manifestation of human qualities. This is a veiled name for Ali's usual relationship with a man who was married to another woman. Perhaps this would have continued for some time, but this man turned out to be the son-in-law of her immediate superior.
And the link later turned out to be not so scary: Borzova not only forgets about her “prince", but also finds a new one. In addition, the applause of her colleagues, whose respect she was able to earn, is heard in her honor.
Voice of the people: each character is well done!
Viewers really like the ease with which the plot of the film is described. Very colorful are all the characters without exception. The lines of behavior are understandable to the end, the images are quite complete and comprehensive, the grimaces are colorful and funny. All this is a pleasant balm for the soul of lovers of detective films. And the film was shot in the best traditions of Russian cinema:
- The head of the department, like Pushkin’s, is “the uncle of the most honest rules,” he is both a father and friend, and a wonderful leader with moral unanimity in relation to his subordinates.
- In the schemes of the criminal series there are episodes with murders in a country house, in a theater. But this does not bother the audience, because everything is filmed as if the audience is looking at everything from the inside.
- The actors who starred in the lead roles are very recognizable, but this does not spoil the series at all. But on the role of secondary characters invited actors with pretty famous faces. All this is a very atypical step for such paintings, but quite interesting.
- Love lines are light and unobtrusive, and at the end of the series they have a logical ending. Perhaps in some ways they are non-standard, but as close as possible to life.
For all these reasons, it turns out that two dozen episodes are not enough to enjoy all the vicissitudes of the detective series.
Here he is, the series "Moscow Greyhound." Season 1 was a great success. We will wait for the continuation, which will be no less interesting.
