Russian Commandos Battle Somali Pirates In The New Russian Thriller, 22 MINUTES

22 Minutes…that’s approximately the time it took for commandos from the Marshal Shaposhnikov to end a deadly siege with Somali pirates aboard a Moscow University Russian tanker in the Gulf of Aden back in the summer of 2010. The incident has since been adapted for the screen as a contained action thriller by writer Igor Porublev and director Vasily Serikov, and bears some impressive qualities that make the film look like a very interesting sell.

22 Minutes stars lead actor Makar Zaporozhsky, along with Denis Nikiforov, Victor Sukhorukov, Ekaterina Malikova, Gael Kamilindi and Eebra Tooré. The film is slated for a release this November according to 24FramesPerSecond.net.
Check out the new trailer below. The footage didn’t bring any English subs, but it has a little bit of dialogue. Just a little.
