Children of the Revolution is a courageous dare by first-time director Peter Duncan. He bases the film on one premise: What if Joseph Stalin had a son, and would he turn out just like Old Joe?
The film is filled with action although everything gets a little hectic and messy at times. But if car crashes, bloody fights, and a few mild cases of death turn you on, Blood and Wine is your cup of tea.
John Turturro again turns in a paranoid tour de force as our hero, a poor, disillusioned playwright creating his art not for commerce, but for the common man.
