Dead Man's Bluff

Russian movie about (un)organized crime. Two hired guys have the worst luck pulling off heists, but they're really amusing. One of them is basically Lurch from the Adams family. A dirty cop hires thugs to steal money from a mob boss. The thugs get the money case from the two unlucky guys but it has heroin in it instead of cash, and they have no idea what to do with it. People are killing people left and right, so it's pretty cool, but it also makes me NOT want to go to Russia. The two nimrods have to go retrieve the case for the boss. Then Lurch gets super excited about the first ELO album he finds in the thugs' house. Lurch starts blasting people with a hatchet and it's hilarious. Kneecaps get a'busted. There's a quick game of Russian Roulette (which apparently is called Dead Man's Bluff in Russia – not as cool). One of the thugs gets a shot off on one of the nimrods. It's like the Russian version of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
