When three faceless corpses are discovered in Moscow`s Gorky Park, the Moscow militia`s top investigator, Arkady Renko (William Hurt), is assigned to the case. An honest Soviet official, Renko uncovers a murky and dangerous plot involving sinister KGB agents, the corrupt Soviet government, and a powerful American businessman. Although many of the Russians in the film speak with an English accent (all the dialogue is in English), Gorky Park proves to be a provocative, fast-paced thriller that captures all of the intrigue and suspense in Martin Cruz Smith`s best-selling novel of the same name. Director Michael Apted handled the thriller genre before in Squeeze and Agatha, and the experience shows in Gorky Park; there are so many twists and turns in the plot, viewers are constantly kept off balance. A supporting cast of Lee Marvin, Brian Dennehy, and Joanna Pacula (in her first starring role) back up Hurt with solid performances.

Hart, ehrlich und packend. William Hurt, Brian Dennehy und Lee Marvin im gandenlosen Spiel um Macht, Menschen und Lüge. Der Befreiung der tanzenden Zobel stehen die gefangenen Menschen gegenüber. Grossartiger Film - ein Muss!
