Review of Pu-239

Pu-239 (2006)
7/10
Sad story with many funny moments
24 September 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Interesting movie, taking place in a secret city in Russia with a nuclear facility, and an accident which inflicts a worker (Paddy Considine) with a massive dose of radiation. After he gets fired without pay, he manages to steal some plutonium and sets out to sell it on Moscow's black market with the help of an incompetent criminal. His plan goes very wrong as his body gets worse and worse, and the deal he was trying to make to send the money home to his Wife (Radha Mitchell) ends up with a rather humorous note as some thugs think it's coke and snort it. The movie is in no way a comedy, but the incompetent Russian mob guys give it some rather funny moments.
