Synopsis

Can Hollywood's hardest, Vinnie Jones, take on Russia's toughest jobs pitting himself against some of the wildest men and most extreme landscapes on earth? He's answering a personal life-long quest to find out why Russia is the toughest place on our planet to live, work and play. In this six part documentary series, Vinnie's challenge is to work, live and play alongside the men who hold down these jobs. Vinnie's punishing set of missions will span the biggest country in the world. Siberia alone is bigger than the USA, Alaska and Western Europe combined. It accounts for 1/12 of the world's entire landmass! On this vast stage, Vinnie will pit both brains and brawn against the following: Cowboys, Trawler Men, Rail Men, Bodyguards, Poacher Squad, Truckers.

Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
acoustic-moon-rise I'm Russian and for me it was very interesting to watch this show. Vinnie Jones in my country - it sounded really interesting. My first thought was that it will be some kind of set up, but it wasn't - there were real people who just do their job and Vinnie Jones, doing his best when he had been put in some tough places with tough people.I thought it will be show about famous foreigner in Russia, but it wasn't the only thing - I've seen some new places and sides of my own country!Inspite of fear or facing some, maybe unusual for foreigner, Russian traditions Vinnie Jones tried to do everything he could when he had to catch the dear, face a bear and live through all these professions, which are not easy at all.Great show, I've enjoyed it.8 out of 10
Volod Being Russian myself, I could pretty easily estimate amount of 'cheesy' factor in that documentary. All in all - while the picture of actual WORK or its environment might be OK, the narrative and the tone of the story told is way off reality. The translation (both to and from Russian) is mediocre at best; I wonder how much of the faults of this flick are because of poor interpreter's work.It's not too far from standard 'bears-balalaika-sputnik' cliché. Pity. If you want more accurate picture of what Russia actually is (and how tough it might get at times), I _highly_ recommend another documentary called Long Way Round (2004) with brilliant Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman.
