Viktor (2014): An Art Thief Out for Revenge

     Written and directed by Philippe Martinez, Viktor (2014) blends Art Crime, Film Noir and Gangster elements together in a brutal and dark cinematic mixture. Released from prison after serving a seven-year sentence, an Art Thief tracks down the Russian mobsters that brutally murdered his son while he was away. The stylish revenge tale brings harsh retribution to the Moscow underworld. Gerard Depardieu is great as the vengeful Art Thief. Elizabeth Hurley is beautiful in her role. The rest of the cast, comprised mostly of unknowns, is hit or miss.
