Why is there in almost every fucking action movie a character from Eastern Europe, and 98% of time it’s some drug dealer, mafia, mob boss, smuggler, thief, gang member or leader or some criminal in general. Even if it’s not a plot point, they have to at least mention it.
It doesn’t have to be Russia, it’s either Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Hungary, Montenegro, Albania etc. I heard this in movies on TV at least 100 times just this year.
Why the fuck do you always have to at least mention Eastern Europe in any way? You ruined and pillaged the region 30 years ago and turned it into a hellhole it is today full of criminals, corruption, bourgeoise and fascists politicians, what the fuck do you want anymore?
Rant over.
I really likes the horror Movie “No escape” also called Follow Me. It’s about a Jake Paul-type Vlogger/streamer who goes to Russia for an exclusive Escape Room and the whole movie sorta relies on the American view that everyone is a criminal, really good ending. They even have a scene where the loud American main character makes an ass of himself and his guest by yelling out on his stream that without all the crazy monsters and guns Russia is kinda cool, everyone else in the room silently acknowledge that he’s a dumbass. The ending is spectacular.

Basically the Russian “criminal guy” that they were all suspicious of turns out to have been playing a prank on the main character in conjunction with all of his friends that were in on the joke and they made sure nobody was accidentally hurt during the Escape Room prank. But the American kills the Russian guy before he can under it was all fake. Really good movie its on hulu or something check it out
