Judicious, no, but this historical epic based on the Time of Troubles in         seventeenth century Russia sure is blood-soaked and action-packed. After the     death of Tsar Boris Godunov and the murder of his heirs, Russia descends into    chaos and is left vulnerable to Polish and Swedish invaders. 1612 is the story of how young Prince Dmitry Pozharsky (Mikhail Porechenkov) unites his    people and saves the motherland. Special effects supervised by Ilya Churinov   (Night Watch). In Russian with English subtitles.                          Vladimir Khotinenko---Russia---2007---135 mins.
