Sure, heads can explode and guts can fall out, but it’s all so ‘by the way’. It’s disappointingly pedestrian, in fact. Mother Russia Bleeds doesn’t really have… anything. I’d hesitate to say it always had a ‘point’, but it had something, something that contributed to a vibe that you maybe won’t fully appreciate unless you’re over 32. The thing with the best (and I use that word loosely) examples of that genre though was that the violence, while gratuitous, had a style to it. A beat-em-up that didn’t shy away from blood and gore extreme, over-the-top, silly violence, the game version of something you’d rent from Rob Fearon for 99p on a Friday night back in 1987. Early footage of Mother Russia Bleeds looked like it could be promising in that regard. I’m generally a big fan of anything that captures the 80s ‘video nasty’ aesthetic.
