Synopsis
The Criminal Quartet (Kriminalny kvartet, 1990) is a Soviet action thriller you can watch online on iFILM. An investigator uncovers a huge batch of faulty footwear at a wholesale depot and opens a case against the racket behind it. Then his young son vanishes.
The phone rings with terms: drop the case if you want the boy back alive. Unable to fight the mob through official channels, he turns to three friends he grew up with — two cops and a newspaper reporter. They were raised together in an orphanage and will go to any length for one of their own. Four men with nothing to lose square off against the mafia. Starring Nikolai Karachentsov, Vladimir Steklov, Boris Shcherbakov and Vladimir Yeryomin.
A tough crime picture from the perestroika years, when Soviet screens first named corruption and organized crime out loud. The pull here is the all-star male ensemble and a pace that never sags across its 85 minutes. Stream The Criminal Quartet (1990) online on iFILM.
