ABSOLUTE POWER IS NEVER ENOUGH.

A chaotic biography of the life and death of Vladimir Putin, bullied child who quickly rose through the ranks to become dictator of Russia, haunted by specters from his past.

The film throws us from one historic event to the next, without ever offering insight, only death, destruction and hatred of this vile man. Choppy, clumsy editing doesn’t help.

The lead actor’s face has been AI-manipulated to resemble Putin closely, but the results are eerily lifeless.
