Shoot Immediately

About This Movie

Shoot Immediately is one of those films that sneaks up on you with its mix of comedy and drama. The story follows Grigory Smirnov, a guy seemingly at the top of his game in the banking world. Yet, beneath the surface of his successful life—cozy apartment, fancy car, and a stunning wife—there's a tension bubbling just out of sight. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the overall feeling of unease, which I think actually works. The performances feel genuine, capturing the absurdities of everyday life. It’s not flashy or over-the-top; instead, it really digs into themes of societal pressure and personal discontent. There are some practical effects that ground the narrative, but it’s the stark reality of Grigory’s life that leaves an impression.

Unique take on banking life. · Uneven pacing adds to tension. · Authentic performances elevate the narrative.
