Zhmurki is a departure from Balabanov’s grittier works like Brother ( Brat ). It uses a "black comedy" lens to satirize the lawlessness of the 1990s, focusing on two bumbling hitmen, Sergei and Simon, who work for a local kingpin. The film is celebrated for its stylized violence, sharp dialogue, and its eventual commentary on how the gangsters of the 90s transitioned into the "respectable" businessmen and politicians of the 2000s.
