Purely Joyful Movie!

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

That in fact is true. Vasha isn't Charles Bronson movie. Vasha is a story about brotherhood. About betraying. About vendetta. Vasha is not very good movie. At least it's not the movie I definitely would recommend everyone to see.First I had quite high hopes on the movie. If you can say this. Anyway I was hoping decent action revenge thriller because the story first seemed quite intriguing and interesting. And all I got was disappointment. There were lot holes in the story and there weren't nothing that can compensate this. Acting was average. Even below average. Mart Müürisepp (Tom) overacted almost throughout the whole movie. Little bit too much smiles and silly faces. Only character that earned my sympathy was Tom's mother. But all the performances failed to bring out the tension between characters. Directing was quite OK. I think it all got stuck behind low budget. On the other hand, there is numerous very good movies out there done even lesser budget. Now the big problem with the movie was, it tried to be serious. Meaningful. But it failed. Some clichéd narrated lines that tried to give forward some wiseness. This movie had worked better with bit more action and blood. And better dialog. I mean, Tom was meant to be wise- ass. I hoped the best lines and jokes coming from him. He wasn't smart- ass enough. Strongest part of the movie was Rein Kotov's cinematography.Overall, Vasha is below average film that tries to be more than it is.Oh yeah. I almost forgot. Best line was by Artur: This is not Charles Bronson movie.

People tend to think that a small country can't be good at things that the great ones are good at. (Like some say that only Hollywood can produce great movies.) That't probably because they put money ahead of everything else. It's a long ago proved fact, that Europe has a lot more potential to make deep thought provoking movies than Hollywood. And "even" Eastern-Europe countries are able to use that potential in full power. Especially when they cooperate with other European movie companies. And from that cooperation the movie "Vasha" was born. (Vasha should mean "brother" in chechen language, so the movie title already speaks some about the strong issues dealt in the plot.) This movie achieves its greatness with the ability to make the audience think farther than the things you see on the screen. This movie is a must-see for every single person that has suffered from the crimes that were (and still are) committed by Russia (former Soviet Union) towards its small neighboring nations.
