Synopsis
Power (Vlast, 2022) is a Russian drama series you can watch online on iFILM, worth a look for its taut thriller pulse and Alexey Krasovsky's direction. The hook lands fast: nine young women head off to shoot a music video and vanish without a trace.
Some time later a stranger reaches out to their families and demands a ransom. The money is gathered and handed over — and then the kidnapper goes silent. From that point the tidy scheme falls apart, and in its place grows a brutal game in which the roles of captor and victim keep swapping. Working out who actually holds the power gets harder by the episode.
Krasovsky, known for sharp and uncomfortable films, again aims to unsettle the viewer rather than reassure. A good match for fans of bleak drama wound around a crime knot, ready for a story that doesn't pull its punches. Stream Power (2022) online on iFILM.
