Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
dreamfragments I found this movie after scanning through the HBO channels one night, and I'm glad I did. This is a very touching film. Honestly, I'm surprised I haven't seen it shown again or haven't seen people talk more about it, which is a shame because I think this movie is quite exceptional.The story is that of a Russian nuclear facility worker, who through unfortunate events and circumstances, is exposed to a lethal dose of radiation. The facility tries to hide the actual condition he is in, but he eventually stumbles upon the truth. Knowing his life is cut down to a matter of days, the movie follows his path of selling plutonium he has stolen from the facility in order to make money for his family.I wholeheartedly recommend this movie. If you can buy this or watch it, do so! You will not regret it.
Indyrod Interesting movie, taking place in a secret city in Russia with a nuclear facility, and an accident which inflicts a worker (Paddy Considine) with a massive dose of radiation. After he gets fired without pay, he manages to steal some plutonium and sets out to sell it on Moscow's black market with the help of an incompetent criminal. His plan goes very wrong as his body gets worse and worse, and the deal he was trying to make to send the money home to his Wife (Radha Mitchell) ends up with a rather humorous note as some thugs think it's coke and snort it. The movie is in no way a comedy, but the incompetent Russian mob guys give it some rather funny moments.
Mike (fmadams) This is what Indie films are all about. An excellent flick, acting, plot, script, and all else very well done. On HBO this movie is billed as PU-239 so keep an eye out for it, but be careful what you inhale while watching it!Having been a physics major I can state that as far as the science goes the movie is loyal. Science, however, is just background. This movie is really about the human spirit continually battling against despair; the human condition and the lengths we will go to kill one another and to love one another; human ignorance and human intelligence, but without humility, and the trouble it will get us all into; and "in the end, everything decays into lead", like bullets, and the fact that no one gets out alive.
cranberry_dude This film filled my expectations; when i saw that kind of title i thought this movie was going to be different-and it was. A semi-foreign style to it, PU-239 try to tells us the story of this guy that gets radiation poisoning in this secret facility, with plutonium, and how it affects his relation to his family. The only thing i actually didn't like(because the movie tells some interesting facts about the chemical elements among other things and that's a plus to the movie) was the addition to a gang-like story to collide with this guy's(Timofey)search for justice and money to sustain his family due to being fired from the facility; it wasn't necessary that addition, i would've liked it better if it were more concentrated on Timofey. But overall is a must-see movie, not a great one but a worthy watching at home.
