I mean, that's a real story. They just had to adapt it into a short format.

They did a lot.

And you can check out how russians did just that to counter these series.

They made a movie? Seems like a Russian versions of any of the Mark Wahlberg average guy stops awfuk thing series.

Not familiar with these, but there's one manly main actor who warps both logic and historical truth wherever he goes. Everything becomes dumb to make him look smart, even radiation stops working. That's not what I thought would be a movie about a catastrophe produced in a country that was also affected by it. That's like if Michael Bay filmed a michaelbayean version of 9\11 with explosions and comic books-like catch-phrases.

America produced a movie wherein the tragedy of a young woman's murder was retold to be stopped by a folksy hero, his best pal and his dog. Complete with flamethrower and gratitious violence.

Edit: wait didnt Michael Bay make a bad revionist historical action drama called Pearl Harbour?
