Steppenwolf

In a remote region of Kazakhstan where lawlessness reigned, Tamara (Anna Starchenko) had her young son pulled from her arms by human traffickers-and she could convince no one to help her besides Brajyuk (Berik Aitzhanov), an ex-cop turned stone cold mercenary killer. The grim pursuit in which the hired gun steeps the desperate mother in his existence of brutal nihilism is numbingly limned in filmmaker Adilkhan Yerzhanov's intense thriller. 102 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Kazakh DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio: Subtitles: English, Spanish; audio commentary; bonus feature "Goliath" (2022); featurettes. In Kazakh with English subtitles.
