The twist? He’s the deranged, self-righteous underling of the tech genius ( Sergei Goroshko) who founded that social media network.
The Plague Doctor ( Dmitriy Chebotarev) posts his executions online on this new, free-speech and privacy-protecting social media site. Yes, to the West, THAT guy sounds like the hero. But inside the coffin or out, he’s got a job to do.īecause SOMEbody is killing off Russia’s legions of unreachable, politically-protected villains - a callously drunken son of an oligarch, a fatcat polluter, rich and corrupt this, rich and venal that. He almost dies - we think he has - in that opening caper. It’s an over-the-top bore about an over-the-top /no-rules cop ( Tikhon Zhiznevskiy) who chases down clown-masked bank robbers on foot - they’re in a van, spilling rubles all over St. Better translation of title? “Major Grom vs. The Plague Doctor is his latest toughest foe. Major Grom is the recurring character and hero. You can tell, and not just from the title, which ineptly suggests the titular “hero” is both Major Grom AND the Plague Doctor.
It’s not credited as a comic book on the disastrously-redesigned IMdb, and I didn’t see Netflix acknowledge that either. Tell that creep’s story from the point of view of the rebel cop, Major Grom, hunting this “villain/hero,” a gadget-loving goon who calls himself “The Plague Doctor,” and you’ve got this two hour and twenty minute goulash of an action comedy. Imagine a “Batman” in which Alfred the Butler is the real caped “crusader,” a masked vigilante fighting the injustice of a corrupt city. There are EIGHT credited screenwriters for “Major Grom: Plague Doctor.” You know what they call that in Mother Russia and its satellite state of Kentucky?
