Finally bought it on Itunes because I can't wait until the DVD on January 31, 2012.

Here are few of my thoughts without giving away anything.

* With the US release being 8 minutes longer than the Russian dubbed. Pretty sure scenes were extended and a few added in scenes with Janie/Lana. (I'll compare tonight).
* Mischa and Shantel had really great and hot chemistry. I ship Janie/Lana!!!
* Only payed attention to Shantel, Mischa and Anton's scenes but luckily they are in about every scene.
* The camera work/cinematography is beautiful.
* I don't know why but was really attracted to the character of Kira. She is the drug addict that interacts with Janie and Lana.

So is this worth the 3.99? If Mischa's acting isn't all that great I probably won't rent it, but if its' decent or good I might.

I really enjoyed the film and the camera work and cinematography was very stunning and beautiful.. (so I already have it preordered on DVD at amazon).

Thought Mischa did an excellent job in the film.

Glad you got to watch it, TwilightPrincess

Mischa was great as Lana! She suited the character really well. As I said, I didn't love the movie as a whole. But you can definitely see why Mischa would have responded well to playing Lana.

Plus, the Russian accent was pretty fun. I thought she did a really good job with that.

Really loved Mischa/Shantel together.

They had great chemistry and were fun to watch.

Some scenes were VERY sweet too. Shipping Janie and Lana hard right now.. Lol

What did you think of the camera work and cinematography? I thought it was very good and beautiful.

Enjoyed the film minus the scenes that didn't have Janie or Lana but luckily they were very very few.

Also enjoyed Anton Yelchin in the film, big fan of him as an actor. He had good chemistry with Shantel and Mischa.

I thought the cinematographer and camera work was most effective during the drug scenes with Shantel and the blonde Nikita actress.

But overall there were some really nice shots of the actors that you don't often see used in film. Even just some of the simple scenes of Mischa sitting on a bench were done beautifully.

Hopefully you like it enough to make the $3.99 worthwhile!

I really loved that bridge scene between Janie & Lana. A very sweet scene.

Just finished watching it. What can I say, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but still wasn't good. There just wasn't any flow to it, and it felt like two movies in one. However, I wonder if maybe the movie would be a lot better seeing the extended version, might be more coherent and better put together. Mischa did pretty good, although Shantel kind of stole the show a bit, but she got most of the meat. I wonder if Mischa's accent was good, I'm surprised she spoke so much. Anyways, overall I can see why Mischa did the project, its just the final product isn't all that.

The original cut was like 2 hours and 23 minutes. Wish they would have kept ALOT of the stuff they cut out and I read it was quite a bit.

There was quite a bunch of scenes between Janie/Shantel & Lana/Mischa that didn't make it in the film like one comes to my mind is the kiss in the club.

Maybe Lionsgate will incorporate some deleted scenes on the dvd when its released on January 31, 2012.

I thought Mischa's accent was really spot on, didn't she get lessons from a voice/dialogue coach on how to speak Russian.

I can only imagine she had too. I really have no clue but it sounded great to me, though she broke out of her Russian accent a few times when speaking in English.

I didn't know Mischa breaking her accent but for the most part thought it was very authentic and good.

I think I'll probably crack before the 31st, I was considering waiting for the DVD, lol. But probably not. I'm not very good at that.
