Archangel

In my books, Daniel Craig is the best James Bond, the one that Ian Fleming had in his mind when he started writing about the agent with the license to kill.

Unfortunately in this BBC bilingual (Russian-English) outing, he is not cast in his typical boxy-chested fighter cock posture. Here he is academician out to discover the whereabouts of Josef Stalin's secret black book and alleged love child who is about to make an appearance with the support of people who are still nostalgic of the Bolshevik's great past!
This movie was initially to be made into a feature film, but unfortunately, it was released as a 4 episode TV film due to insufficient funds. It gives an insight into the now oft-forgotten dark history of the Soviet Union and Stalin in particular. Stalin supposedly finds joy in putting people to execution and had killed more people than Hitler and Pol Pot put together. (6/10)

Josef Stalin: "To choose one's victims, to prepare one's plans minutely, to slate an implacable vengeance, then go to bed - there is nothing sweeter in the world."
