This is a meaty, well-crafted thriller that absorbs and disturbs you from first frame to last.
In the end Tycoon above all evokes a melancholy awareness of the seemingly eternal exploitation and impoverishment of the Russian people.
A savvy, fast-paced political thriller dealing with the meteoric rise and fall of a new Russian businessman.
For all its energy and fine acting, Tycoon has a frustrating lack of narrative coherence.
While the players are circling and silently sizing each other up, the audience may find itself straining to look around them, to see the history they're blocking.
We become so distracted by the jigsaw effect that soon we are more concerned with the assemblage itself than with what it is about.
Though a relatively sober essay on criminal organization, Tycoon is also thoroughly pulpy -- that is, crass, unimaginative, corner-cutting, and simplistic, with the visual vocabulary of daytime soap.
