SPACE WALKERS * (All Media Release Russia 2017)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì 

Space Walkers—one of the best Russian films on the market—WOW! entertainment. Above par acting works within a tense/taut storyline. A virtual treat. Excellent introduction to some of Russia's best actors. The portrayal of these events is 'no shab'. English dubbing makes this Russian movie an easy watch. Refreshing to see the other side of the narrative and realize the courage it took to put men in space. Very well done with superb direction. A young teen and adult watch that makes a good addition to the home video library.
