It starts with young cop Andrej and his colleagues trying to make an
arrest, but a gang of gunmen kill all of them but Andrej, who's suffering
from a bit of diarrhea. Still, he wants to see the case through, and soon
learns about a secret weapon everybody seems to be after, and only a bum
(who is more than he seems to be) knows approximately where it is - in the
desolate house of a weird couple. So Andrej and the bum hide in the attic
of the house, pretending to be poltergeists just to keep the
couple from come checking - and the stupid plan works, too. Andrej and the
bum observe every move of the couple for days on end, without even getting
a clue as to where the weapon might be hidden - until cold war profiteer
Max and his militia storm the building, and rather by accident (a car
accident, actually), everybody (including the weird couple) learns about
the building's secret basement, a dimension-bending room that allows
whoever it is to ascend to pretty much every city in the world via the
sewage system, and a box that's supposed to be the secret weapon. It all
amounts to a big shootout, explosions aplenty, the revelation that Max is actually
a robot, and newfound love - the woman who had the car accident to trigger
everything - for Andrej. But in the end, it seems that everybody loses:
Max when he is erradicated in the explosions, the couple that could have gone
anywhere via the weird room when they choose the sewage hole right next to their
home when escaping disaster, Andrej when the bum takes off with
the secret weapon and he has to pursue him, and Andrej's new-found love when he leaves her for the
weapon ... So-so parody of cop-, buddy-, espionage- and
sci-fi-flicks: Basically the premise of the whole thing is just too
childish to really work, and the script does little to iron out the plot's
shortcomings. On top of that, many jokes are too silly to come across as
funny. On the other hand though, this film also features some hilarious
action setpieces, like inventively shot car chases using Eastern European
vehicles that seem to be chosen for their cheapness, or action scenes that
make fun of themselves. This is of course not enough to make the film
great, but keeps it from being an absolute failure ...
