As a normal movie, based on a comic, that would be 7, but as a first attempt at adaption of homegrown comic series that would be 8.
In short, it's like if Batman's character was turned into villain and written into 80s buddy cop movies starring Gleb Zheglov (Soviet version of "a cop who plays by his own rules"). Police station in particular screamed "Last Action Hero" ~~Which is a nice throwback to tropes that our generation grow up on)~~
It's a decent movie in it's genre, but source material wasn't original enough to make it memorable or feel "Russian" in any particular way.

Not a bad movie overall. The action was pretty good. Overall story had a bit of suspense with who the bad guy was. I kinda saw the ending coming though. It was a fun watch at least once.
KGB mind trick into making you think Russians make good movies. It almost worked on me until they smothered the action with dialog.
A Russian version of ACAB...
Super average Franken movie uplifted by a lot of random elements stolen from random Batman movies from the past 30 years, and a little bit of V for Vendetta. You get BvS Lex Luther as the Villain, a lot of action scenes from the Nolan trilogy, and a rip off of the ballroom scene from Batman Returns.
