Yegor is in trouble. He borrowed money to produce young talents, but those young talents, after using him, left for another music producer. Now Yegor must either return the money to the glamorous gangster Maximilian by the end of the week or present him with a new talented star — otherwise, he’s finished. Realizing that in such a short time he will find neither the money nor a star, Yegor flees Moscow “wherever his eyes lead him” and ends up in a backwater town called Glukhomanye. There, through deception, he gains access to a floating pier belonging to a fishery inspection officer named Stepanych, where he plans to lie low while he figures out what to do next.

Overall, “Dark Fate” is a run-of-the-mill flick. Together, Reyes and Davis have excellent chemistry, but their characters’ story is nothing new, lacking surprise and deep emotion. During the middle points, the film drags considerably, and when the action hits, it feels consistently tight, eliminating the rhythm and fluidity of conflicts.
As this critic continues to look back at some of this Summer's films I have taken in, I would be remiss if I didn't mention one of the most overall unsettling trends in Hollywood over the last several years.....sequels, reboots, and remakes. Look, I am all for seeing more than one film for certain originals that made a splash, ie: "Jurassic Park", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Transformers", etc.
Four more classic horror films that are entertaining even if occasionally absurd.

Gay representation is out there, but to portray a character who's gay as a big, happy brute is a rare treat.
