Not a bad movie, but rather overlong, somewhat tedious in parts, and a bit low on entertainment value. Although I hate how the movie kept making excuses for having Russians speak English with each other, it generally managed to avoid such clichés. I quite liked the end.

A piece of cold war nostalgia to bring you back to the days of dancers as movie stars, impending nuclear war and Yakov Smirnov.

The movie does command our attention because Hines and Baryshnikov, through their dancing, manage to create very real and living and hurting characters.

Great cast including Gregory Hines, Isabella Rossellini and Mikhail Baryshnikov. The story is about a Russian ballet dancer who defected to the US but was later dropped back into Russia when his plane developed problems. There were a few good dance scenes and some good acting. Pacing was off in a few places, and some of the dancing got a bit tiring as did some of the story. It was mostly about the oppressive government and trying to escape from their captivity.

The points here are primarily for the dance bits. Over all not bad though.

started out really boring and somewhat confusing and LONG ... but it picked up in the third act and actually became somewhat interesting.
