Red Serpent is a 2003 Russian-German action adventure film directed by Gino Tanasescu.
Steve Nichols comes to Moscow to conclude a contract. Unbeknownst to Steve, he has to become a front for transporting drugs supplied by a local gangster nicknamed Red Serpent. And his personal consent is just a technical matter.
The only hope for the trapped businessman is the former KGB officer Sergei Popov, who has old scores with the Serpent.
Russian film critic Valery Kichin considered the film unspectacular and boring, giving it a rating of 1 out of 10.
BadComedian called the Tanasescu film "stupidity, idiocy and nonsense".
Reviewer Andrey Volkov (Postcriticism.ru) named only the performance of some actors as a plus, but in general he described the film as far from professional cinema.
