Arkady Renko (William Hurt) is a Moscow police detective. They find three bodies in Gorky Park with their faces and fingers cut off. KGB arrives right away but nobody wants the case. The girl was wearing skates stolen from Irina Asanova (Joanna Pacula). As Arkady investigates, the case leads to the government with possible KGB connections. Jack Osborne (Lee Marvin) is an American with government influence and dating Irina. William Kirwill (Brian Dennehy) is an American looking for his brother James. Soon Osborne becomes a prime suspect.
This has a bit of quite a few different genre. It's got the CSI police investigation thriller. It has that cold moody murder like a Scandinavian murder mystery. It also has the communist KGB political intrigue. In the center of it all, William Hurt holds the movie together in a murky police/political thriller. It just has a great murder mystery mood.
