Ukraine 1993. Russian gangsters are everywhere. A member of this criminal underworld who has been tortured by police threatens to bring down the organization he is a part of with his testimony at an upcoming trial. Alerted to this, gangland kingpin Rasp sends a group of his underlings to Prague on a mission to kidnap the captured gangster’s sister, Angela – aka “Alien” – with the intent of holding her hostage to insure the silence of her brother during his trial. But “Alien” turns out to be the hardest killer of any of them, and turns her captors one by one against each other. ALIEN GIRL is based on the graphic novel by Vladimir “Adolfych” Nesterenko.

Shared Darkness

Brent Simon

Alien Girl exudes a wearying, recombinant raison d'tre; it's as if all the parts of a dozen American crime thrillers were distilled through a heavy sociocultural filter, reconstituted, and then aped in middling fashion.

Though it's aware of post-Soviet balkanization and the many terrible ways Eastern European men can behave, it mostly seems to unironically enjoy degradation.

Gritty and action-packed, but often contrived and monotonous while lacking enough of a heart and brain to be a truly suspenseful and engrossing Russian gangster film.

New York Times

Jeannette Catsoulis

Soulless, joyless and depressingly graceless, Alien Girl plays like an early Guy Ritchie knockoff without the jokes or Cockney accents.

Film Journal International

Frank Lovece

By-the-numbers crime thriller set in 1990s Ukraine, Prague and Bratislava, with a femme fatale and fatheads.
