What a wonderful film!
Heavyweight boxing champion "Sugar" Nikolai Valuev plays a boxer who suffers from memory loss and faces end of his successful career after a car accident. However, "the man who doesn't feel pain" is forced into one last fight and much more than just boxing fame will be at stake.
Valuev, despite having very little acting experience, is extremely good in the role. Every time he appears on the screen you are entertained or moved. His humor and specific charm really shine through the screen. Very memorable performance. The rest of the cast are solid.
It's a good portrayal of the Russian Mafia and shady characters that surround the sport of boxing. There is action, drama and romance, there is something for everyone in this film. In my view Kamennaya Bashka challenges Rocky III as the best ever film about boxing. I recommend it to everyone, you will not be disappointed.
