Notable for some movie moments, such as the main character's escape from prison, which suggests a reverse association with "Beyond the Final Line" (1991), but otherwise a generally formulaic detective story in the form of a confrontation between a single character, a principled criminal investigation inspector, a double agent and a diverse mafia in Moscow, which also included some people from law enforcement agencies.
