Alexandra Leaving

The film is not made to be taken seriously, you can not do this even if you try really really hard.
The film is full of:

- Bad Russians and all of them are spies

- Russians who killed president Kennedy

- Good Russians and all of them are pro USA

- Bad Russian accents. You had to laugh when even Daniel Olbrychski who spoke perfectly good Russian had a very BAD Russian accent when he spoke English (and by BAD I don’t mean thick, I mean – I haven’t heard any of Russian people I have met speak like this in real life)

- Russians drinking vodka after killing a man with automatic guns

- Russians chess champions

The film had no Russian cliché unturned. I have seriously tried to think this was some kind of parody/spoof thing but I don’t think it was.

What the film didn’t have , however:

- Any coherency of the plot. Everyone assumes Angelina is a Russian spy? Why? I tried really hard to understand but the only explanation for me was that she has blond hair , braided in a a plat (this is a Russian way to wear your hair, right) ?

Anyways, I had a good laugh with Mr.Alexander , so the film was good for something?
