Frank Whaley is ideal as a nervous American tourist in the USSR who gets mixed up with murder, art theft, Natalya Negoda and a dodgily villainous Roman Polanski. The quality sought here easily evades what turns out to be a trashy thriller, but Whaley, the pulp-fiction yarn, the Russian locations and hilariously misjudged turns from Polanski and Brian Blessed as panto-style Russians keep it sneakily enjoyable throughout its short running time.
