Profile of Gorky Park

Gorky Park can be described as suspenseful, bleak, and tense. The plot revolves around political intrigue, political corruption, and police corruption. The main genres are thriller, drama, and crime. In approach, Gorky Park is serious and realistic. It is located in Russia. It is based on a book. Gorky Park is well suited for a boys' night.

Summary of Gorky Park

When three faceless corpses are discovered in Moscow's Gorky Park, the Moscow militia's top investigator, Arkady Renko (William Hurt), is assigned to the case. An honest Soviet official, Renko uncovers a murky and dangerous plot involving sinister KGB agents, the corrupt Soviet government, and a powerful American businessman. Although many of the Russians in the film speak with an English accent (all the dialogue is in English), GORKY PARK proves to be a provocative, fast-paced thriller that captures all of the intrigue and suspense in Martin Cruz Smith's best-selling novel of the same name. Director Michael Apted handled the thriller genre before in SQUEEZE and AGATHA, and the experience shows in GORKY PARK; there are so many twists and turns in the plot, viewers are constantly kept off balance. A supporting cast of Lee Marvin, Brian Dennehy, and Joanna Pacula (in her first starring role) back up Hurt with solid performances.

A true classic. I wait for the other Renko stories ("Polar Star" Red Square" and "Havana Bay")to become films! William Hurt is usually not my choice, but he plays Renko extremely well. If you liked Gorky Park, try "Citizen X". Read and rate it
