I think this is a brilliant documentary, and am shocked at the "meh" attitude of the other reviewers...it's is a fly on the wall view of Putin's rise to power, and it plays like a psychological thriller without a third act. Watch Putin as he betrays everyone who helps him. Check out his wife in the celebration of his election in his campaign rooms, looking like a damned soul in hell. Watch as Yeltsin slowly realizes he's been used, waiting for a thank you phone call that never comes. It is all so acutely realized, you can't believe you are not watching a dramatic reenactment. And Putin toggles back and forth behaviourally from nice low key guy to a strangely unsettling presence even among his enthusiastic supporters. He is hardly even trying to connect with them..it is FASCINATING.
