Scum may be right, not just in describing the hitmen, one of whom is quickly shot and dispensed with, but in labeling the entire world of corruption and violence that Bormatov happily lingers on. Following a bloody shootout, the men rescue the woman known as "Alien" (Natalia Romanycheva), who had been chained naked and filthy to a radiator in her captive's apartment for a month. But in a world in which raw brutality is the necessary form that capitalism takes, Alien turns out to be the most brutal capitalist of them all. Seducing the softest of the three remaining gangsters, the only character in the entire film with anything resembling a conscience, she sets out to dispense of his two associates and then rob their boss, an action she accomplishes through the torture of the man who guards his stash of gold. (In this decidedly un-PC film, the character is known simply as "the Jew"). As she commands her underlings to pour hot water over the man's open wounds, she cements her status as the top operator in the Ukrainian underworld, a position further stabilized by her paying off of corrupt police interests for protection.
Visually, Alien Girl feels both low-budget and ultra-slick (witness an unnecessary slow-motion shot of a man throwing a brick through a window). Bormatov's hazy cinematography (courtesy of DPs Dmitri Kuvshinov and Anastasiy Michailov) effectively transforms nocturnal glimpses of slimy locales into misty nightmarescapes, but it serves the more pedestrian, daytime shots less well, especially given the director's largely undistinguished framings. The pacing, too is inconsistent, with a lengthy lull in the middle as violence gives way (temporarily) to a romance predicated around a lengthy, and decidedly unsexy, love scene. Lacking much in the way of nuance or grace, the film must rely on its insistent scuzziness and relentless brutality for it to be effective, but when it's dealing in bloody corpses and double crosses it remains a consistently compelling look at the basest forms of a corrupt economic system. And sometimes the most useful way to critique a system is to plunge headlong into its putrid, stinking underbelly.
Ukraine -- The 1990s -- Amidst a violent clash between two rival gangs, their very existence hinges on a woman named Angela (aka "Alien Girl"), the sister of a gang member who is about to cut a deal with the police. In order to exert influence over him before he testifies, his boss dispatches four of his best hit men, who set off on a trip to Prague to bring Angela back to the Ukraine and hold her hostage. But what starts off as a war between rival gang members and all those standing in their way, soon becomes a game of manipulation, seduction and betrayal in which Angela plays each member off against one other, before becoming the ultimate victor.
