Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Rated: 4/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Art house meets grind house in Cargo 200, Alexey Balabanov's morbidly compelling thriller set in the Soviet Union. Rated: 4/5 Jan 2, 2009 Full Review Nick Schager Slant Magazine Balabanov imbues his uncompromisingly matter-of-fact horror show material with a shrewd politicized consciousness. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 1, 2009 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Feature Film in World Cinema at the 2008 Indianapolis International Film Festival. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 4, 2020 Full Review Ard Vijn ScreenAnarchy Thankfully Alexei Balabanov keeps the film interesting and thrilling enough, especially when the kidnap gets underway. Jan 23, 2020 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A grim grindhouse black comedy thriller that is a disturbing look at Russia before Perestroika.

Gleb K How the monsters of the new millennium were made. A study of cruelty and apathy. Although the film contains numerous scenes of violence, physical and sexual, it is the affect that is truly horrifying. There is a perpetual menacing sensation of helplessness. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Yvonne T Nice film. I like it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm from Russia. This film shows the hopelessness of this country best of all. Excellent work by Balabanov. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Very heavy, pessimistic and sometimes surrealistic movie about the last days before the perestroyka. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow. It's very dark and demented, in a bad way, without purpose. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member It's not an easy film. Gruesome, horrifying and depressing. But definitely worth watching. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/15 Full Review Read all reviews
