Moor
Kazakh Rambo returns from war to take bloody revenge in this fiery action film by Yerzhanov.
The tireless Kazakh master has no name. He feels no pain. He says no words. He returns from war to a big, dangerous city rife with corruption. The former war veteran shows no mercy, punishing the greedy and the rich. He has no choice – kill or be killed. He is determined to protect his missing younger brother's family by finding his brother's redheaded wife, all the while rebelling against the system and avoiding his many vengeful enemies.
Director Adilkhan Yerzhanov captures the thrilling intrigue, intense adrenaline and cynical black humour in a simple yet brutal light.
