Six years after the deafening premiere of the 1stseason television series "Sword", on the screens of compatriots there is a longed-for sequel. The release date of the series "Sword" is familiar to every fan - November 16, 2009. The premiere of the second season was on June 15, 2015. The director-director was, as before, Alexey Lukanev. Script writer Ilya Kulikov, in a break between seasons, had time to take part in rather unusual projects of domestic production "Insomnia", "Game", "Mine", "Chernobyl", he worked in a creative union with Vasily Vnukov and Julia Baeva. It's nice that the writers were not afraid to experiment, do not look back at such foreign projects, so their offspring is favorably different from the one-time boring movie-maker, who daily treats the Russian viewer. The new actors of "Sword 2" worked very well with experienced participants, organically weaving into the creative atmosphere.
A few words about the first season
In the first season, the viewer had an excellentthe opportunity to observe the fruitful work of the punitive OPG, accompanied by a complex psychological component. In the process of narration, some heroes could not cope with their aggravating psycho-emotional state, others barely kept above the endless abyss of insanity. In the culmination of the series, when due to several errors in the UK, data on many participants become known - the characters seem to walk on the blade of the knife, keeping the viewer in an ever-growing tension. The final chord turned out magnificent, it becomes clear to everyone - such pictures can not end with a happy ending. The film "Sword" (Season 2) forced to show enviable inventiveness of script writers, because it began from the moment when the spectator parted with the characters.
The plot (briefly)
The protagonist Maxim Kalinin, having received heavywounded, miraculously escapes from the persecution, and at this time the "beheaded" cell of the people's avengers temporarily remains incompetent. "Sword" is broken, but not destroyed. Gradually, the strength is restored, and the world of crime again fades in an exciting anticipation. To new adventures already in the second season new actors of "Sword 2" will put their hand.
Season two. First impression
A notable feature of the first season wasthat for all 25 episodes in any narrative did not happen again: a fake ATC, the capture of a television studio, the pursuit of an elusive and inexorable killer - each episode was unique. The film "Sword" (season 2) looks no less interesting, but it can not boast of such a removal. At some points, there is a catastrophic lack of drive, the understatement of some situations is embarrassing. But this is more than offset by a more rigid plot and the ongoing changes in the characters' characters. Undoubted plus - comeback of Mr. X, which unequivocally adds dynamics and sharpness. It remains to be hoped that further the narrative will develop according to the growing. The opponents of the organized crime group spoil the impression somewhat. In the first season, they at least deserve respect - a strong Hydra with Colonel Komin, Vice Mayor Stroginska Dadashev, General Muratov and others. The villains, played by the actors of "Sword 2", look in comparison with them too small and pale. Although the new confrontation with the seasoned, cynical colonel of the FSB Sintsov (Andrey Kurilov) and who turned out to be under his hypnotic influence Tatyana Demina, may make the fans of the show worry.
Actors and roles
Tatyana Demina (Nina Gogaeva) is the rarest bitch,in love with Maxim Kalinin (Eduard Flerov). The girl is able to forgive the elect a lot, but not active participation in the punitive OPG, which she unsuccessfully tries to detect and destroy.
In the first season, especially unbalancedminded Anton Karev (Timur Efremenkov), now such problems are found in Kalinin, yet the bloody craft does not pass without a trace. He for unknown reasons kills the innocent ex-leader of the White Arrow of the FSB general. In addition, he creates a few pseudo-swords. Those. is no longer a double, but a triple life. Now the FSB officers will have to defeat the second grouping and the third, and the first one will manage to escape? The writers so famously twisted the plot that "Mine" just nervously smokes on the sidelines.
Dmitry Chizhov (Vladislav Pavlov) does not lag far behind his leader, he also has problems with his psyche, but very soon he will organize and lead his punitive group.
Elena Zhurova (Daria Poverennova) again begins to take strange drugs, claiming that at any time will be able to do without them.
Actors of "Sword 2", who played the role of new membersgroup, do not concede in the skill of the participants of the first season. Major OOBOP Viktor Egorov played Alexander Fisenko, also the cast of the new season will be replenished by Maxim Shchyogolev, who will play the role of "Winnie the Pooh," co-worker of Bones and Max.
It's hard not to agree with the statement that the series"Sword 2. Limit" - a worthy project, produced in Russia. In its finale viewers, the creators will be surprised by a literate multitrack with a hint of a third season. Fans have to hope and wait, for the sake of such pleasure from viewing and 6 years do not mind.
