Very poor camera work and general sloppiness mar this film December 17, 2008 This film is very misleading. At first impression you get the idea that this is a very intense and dark film in the same manner and type of setting similar in a way to "Silent Hill." Instead, what we get is a whole of bad camera work and lots of darkly shaded scenes.
This film just didn't do it for me, and from the other reviews here, it appears that it didn't please very many people. If you want dark atmosphere with a setting in a forbidding landscape, try "Silent Hill."
What is Val Kilmer Doing In This?? December 9, 2008 Moscow Zero is a tiresome film. It takes a good premise and does nothing with it. The plot centers around a priest (Gallo) searching Moscow's underground for his lost buddy. There is supposed to be some supernatural angle but it is very weak at best. For some reason, Val Kilmer is in this movie, playing a gangster that runs the underground. He says a few lines then thats it for him! There must be a big demand for illicit activities in those tunnels..
The ending of the film is a real mystery, it just ends. Nothing is really explained. You can skip this one..
Moscow Zero (2006) is disappointing. November 7, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Moscow Zero (2006) is a disappointing film. This is an independent film, but it was not meant to be a cheap exploitation movie.
There are some solid actors in the film: Val Kilmer, Joss Ackland, Joaquim de Almeida, Rade Serbedzija, Vincent Gallo, Oksana Akinshina.
The filmmaker was trying to make an atmospheric horror movie/psychological study of darkness, and she created a soggy, boring mess.
This was a waste of some good, talented actors.
A major part of why the movie fails it that you don't really care what happens to the characters. They are characters without much connection to the audience. The characters are killed, and you don't care one way or the other. The deaths are not interesting or creative or fancy or much of anything except dull.
And there are no scares. You are supposed to be scared, but instead you are bored, waiting for something exciting or meaningful to happen. You watch the entire movie (if you don't turn it off in disgust before the end) and then think, "What a waste of time".
Most of the action is supposed to take place in chambers that are beneath Moscow. So for atmosphere, most of the film is dark, and it's sometimes difficult to see clearly what the characters are doing. Adding to the confusion, it's hard to understand why the characters act the way they do. The meaning is supposed to become clear and unfold as you watch the movie advance in time, except that the characters, like in a low-grade horror film, are doing things without much sense to them. So even when you say to yourself, after seeing the added meaning of characters/items you saw before, "OK, now I understand what's happening more clearly", it doesn't really matter very much. The story was simple and did not make much sense before, and it still does not make much sense now. You understand what the filmmaker was trying to create, an atmospheric horror film with meaning that would slowly unfold, but she ended up with a talky, low-budget mess.
There are definitely worse movies out there. But because of the actors in this film, I was really hoping for something worth watching. And this is just a time-waster. No thrills. No scares. No interesting story.
The movie would make more sense as a video game. And be a better experience. If the movie was based on a video game, that might explain why it's such a poor movie. The filmmaker was focused on trying to make a faithful transition from video game or script to film, instead of trying to make an interesting and watchable film.
A simpler explanation might be that the director (Maria Lidon) is a hack who lacks the talent to make a good movie.
Hopefully, if she does make any more movies, they will be better than this one.
Empty and tedious November 5, 2008 Moscow Zero looks a little bit interesting upon glancing at the DVD cover and reading the film's synopsis. Sadly though, Moscow Zero is an empty and pretty tedious bore that manages to do little to get your heart pumping during its eighty-two minute running time. Vincent Gallo stars as a Russian priest who hires a team to help him find his missing friend (Rade Serbedzija) who had ventured beneath the city upon hearing a legend of a gateway to Hell. What Moscow Zero manages to do well is fairly little, but it does offer an effectively creepy and somewhat claustrophobic atmosphere. It's refreshing to see a film that doesn't boast any blood and gore (in fact, there's little to no violence in the film at all) and relies on atmosphere, but other than that, Moscow Zero offers little else other than the usually great Val Kilmer in what amounts to little more than an extended cameo. The film falters however in terms of its pacing, and is just pretty much more boring than anything else. Not to mention a weak storyline and a confusing conclusion, Moscow Zero just fails. All in all, if you're looking for a decent, atmospheric thriller; Moscow Zero is worth a rental at the very least, but you're better off looking elsewhere.
