"Turkish delight
By Yuriy Humber
STAFF WRITER
No literary genre in Russia sells as well as detective stories. No Russian detective story writer sells as much as Boris Akunin. If that's not a head start for making what is sure to become one of the country's biggest blockbusters this year, then, well, you could always mix all the other popular genres into the film adaptation and add a beefy dose of special effects.
Whether the resulting fizz, crackle and pop charms or not is a matter of taste. However, 'Turetsky Gambit' ('Turkish Gambit') is more than palatable."
