Synopsis
Bodyguards (Телохранители, 2023) is a Russian comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Three boxers from Chelyabinsk, days before flying to the World Championship, decide to make some quick cash at a no-rules fight tournament in Moscow. Naturally, the plan goes sideways.
When the head coach finds out they broke training rules, he cuts all three from the national team. The guys sit glumly in a restaurant, chewing over a humiliating trip home — and at the next table sits a well-known Moscow lawyer with his security detail. One thing leads to another, fists included, and the boxers cheerfully scatter the hired muscle. The outcome is no surprise: a holding cell and a real prison term. Then the lawyer floats a deal — become his personal bodyguards or do the time. The tracksuits get swapped for tailored suits. The cast features Oleg Gaas, Egor Ovchinnikov, and Alexander Levin.
Directed by Konstantin Smirnov, this is a light fish-out-of-water story about small-town tough guys dropped into big-city polish — out of their depth, but with a solid right hook. It works for an evening when you just want to laugh without any pretense of drama. Stream Bodyguards (2023) online on iFILM.
