Virgo V @vision Feb 5 Newsmakers is a 2009 Russian action thriller film directed by Swedish director Anders Banke. It is a remake of the Hong Kong film Breaking News by Johnnie To. Despite an aggressive promotional campaign, the film enjoyed scant popularity among Russian audiences and film critics. Splash Magazine included the film on its Top Ten list from 2009 citing it as a must see. Tiny Beam of Light also provided a positive review of the film praising the score and the entertainment value. Vision said this film is "when bumbling traffic cops unwittingly foil a sting operation planned by undercover police detectives in Moscow and an enterprising female detective decides to turn this humiliating defeat experienced by the department into a reality-TV show. Komsomol Kove too often drowns out set pieces with explosions in place of actual stories." He illustrated that "many of the elements featured in the film including both the plot and characters had been recycled from other police detective clichés and dragged-out action scenes. The villains looked like they were handpicked ex-pats from around the USSR."
