Synopsis
MosGaz. Case No.4: Shakal (2016) — watch online on iFILM: the fourth entry in the Major Cherkasov crime cycle, directed by Yevgeny Zvezdakov. It is the early 1970s in Moscow, and a disciplined gang is hitting state cashiers one after another, leaving no witnesses. Andrei Smolyakov and Marina Alexandrova lead the cast.
The robberies look planned from the inside — someone with real knowledge of how Soviet property-protection services operate is running the show. Cherkasov persuades the brass to merge two rival departments, the MVD and the UBKHSS, into a single task force. The target turns out to be sharper and better connected than the case files suggest.
Smolyakov brings the same cold method to Cherkasov that made the earlier cases in the cycle work. The ensemble includes Sergei Zhigunov, Yekaterina Klimova, Alexandra Bortich, and Irina Starshenbaum. Stream Shakal online on iFILM.
