Gentlemen Officers: Save the Emperor

Gentlemen Officers: Save the Emperor (2008) is Oleg Fomin's historical action film, ready to watch online on iFILM. During the Russian Civil War a handful of White Guard officers get a desperate order: spirit the family of Nicholas II out of Bolshevik-held Yekaterinburg before it is too late.

The mission falls apart at once. Their own side betrays them, and a Red Army detachment is set loose on their trail. What follows is a chase across a country torn by war, narrowing down to a duel between two commanders, one White, one Red. Whoever reaches the arrested tsar first decides how the story ends. Anatoly Bely, Marat Basharov and Anna Azarova lead the doomed run.

Fomin shoots in the key of old-school adventure cinema: chases, shootouts, an officer's code of honour and a tragic finish everyone already knows is coming. If you like Russian war-and-history adventure, this one delivers exactly what it promises. Stream Gentlemen Officers: Save the Emperor (2008) online on iFILM.
