Late night, a Moscow back alley. A white Mercedes rolls up silently, discharging a pair of black clad men who circle the BMW parked in the alleyway like vultures, discussing whether they should burn or steal it. And so we enter the world of Bimmer (“bummer” is Russian slang for a BMW), a film hailed for its realistic portrayal of Moscow’s underworld, a place where only the strongest survive; everyone is in the game; corruption reaches all the way to the top and impoverished hordes scurry around the edges looking for a scrap to eat. Bimmer follows a quartet of low grade mobsters, the operators of a car theft ring whose lives are turned upside down when one of their number carelessly insults a larger, more organized, more vicious gang of mobsters. His car is stolen, he is beaten, the group is challenged and in the resultant scrap one of their number develops an itchy trigger finger, someone is killed and the group is forced to flee, on the run from both mob and police.
