About In the Service of My Country
Somewhere in the Middle East, undercover agent Victor Bystroletov arrives in one of the oil kingdoms posing as an international journalist. His true goal is to contact a former terrorist named Javad. It has been several years since the holy warrior lay down his weapons and disappeared. Interpol is looking for him, as are his former jihad brothers, who have put a death sentence on his head for betrayal.
Directed by Oleg Pogodin, In the Service of My Country leans on a strong ensemble — Valery Nikolaev, Maria Kivva, Yuriy Solomin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2003.
