In 1998 movie Counter Measures. Actress Lada Boder plays as villainess Nishka. One of the iconic villainess from the golden age of movies, the 90s..
I love these kind of movies, unlike modern movies, this movie despite its low budget, but has its own unique character, like I can imagine how things were when this movie was made, like imagine, no internet, no smart phone, the only entertainment you can get is watching a movie late at night on the TV, or rent it to watch it on the VCR, and for that purpose, a movie like that do exactly what it needed to do, at night you watch it, have some fun action, and that's it.
The movie starts with a gun fight, luckily back then we didn't have a committee hired for the sole purpose to ruin the action scene for you..
Just after that we are being introduced to the gorgeous Nishka while she was with Commander Gregori in preparation to take over The Odyssa, the elite Russian nuclear submarine he's working on, who then asked her to ask for more money for him.
Nishka then travel to the Russia to attend a meeting, I'm so in love with her accent, like, who can hear a gorgeous villainess like her saying anything with such accent and dare to disagree with her!!
Now the captain with other conspirators manged to take over the Russian submarine and the crew working in the submarine died brutally, the villains want to take over the submarine as a part of their plan to take over the world.
Just before the villains took over the submarine, one of the crew who survived manged to send distress signal to the US navy, so the US Navy sent Captain Jake Fuller and Lieutenant Swain to see what's going on.
Watching villains around 24 minutes shows you how different villains were before censorship, it's really awesome to watch this movie today.
We see our stunning villainess around 29 minutes, she found out that the bodies of the 15 sailors their evil organization killed to steal their identities and take over the submarine were found, now her evil plans at risk.
Knowing that a Russian nuclear submarine may have been taking by a rogue organization, the US ambassador went into a meeting with the Russian, warning them on how dangerous it would be for a nuclear submarine to be hijacked, and how it would risk a global war between the two countries, oblivious to the fact that the gorgeous and dangerous Nishka is attending the meeting, keeping an eye on what both the Russians and the Americans may know and making sure things don't go out of control for their evil operation.
One of the villains had disagreement with his commander, after his commander was preparing to use the submarine rockets, saying "I joined this mission for money, nothing else" and he's commander slapped him, I mean, he got a point, money is good, I know you won't believe this, but personally, I really love money, not only that, I consider having money is better than not having money.
For a low budget movie, the set they are filming in looks amazing. And the fight scenes looks stupid and fun, honestly stupid fight scenes are fun too, and the sound effects, like when someone get a slap, it sound "BOO", I love this movie.
We see the stunning Nishka once more around 48 minutes, she's preparing her silencer while monitoring the US ambassador to make sure he doesn't get too close to the truth and ruin her organization plans.
James Horan is absolutely great playing the main villain in the movie, due to censorship and thought police committees in the west, you would never get a character like that today.
The main villain Petrov capture Lieutenant Swain and started to explain his plans to her, his plan is to rain Russian cities with warheads, for the Russians to blame militants from Kazakhstan to Ukraine, and Russia being forced to take over these countries, by doing so, The relations in the west will deteriorate and A new Soviet Union will rise from the nuclear ash. His face expression when saying "A new Soviet Union will rise from ash" is priceless.
Finished more than 1 hour watching this movie, and I really don't think there are much movies today that I can enjoy watching as much as this low budget movie that was made 27 years ago, modern movies are that bad..
Now with Swain being captive, only Captain Jake Fuller can save the day and stop the evil organization from starting a global war.
Now with the US ambassador getting closer to discover the organization evil plans, our stunning villainess Nishka have to act fast, so she decide to attack the ambassador herself with her silencer in order to make sure the plan goes as intended, the final confrontation started around 1 hour and 5 minute.
I love the final confrontation, and Nishka accent, I'm so in love with her, I'd die for her, what an amazing villainess.
