Based on a novel 'Gorky Park' is a police procedural in the old Soviet Union, though filmed by necessity in Scandinavia. Three bodies are found near the skating rink at Moscow's Gorky Park, their faces and finger tips cut clean off. William Hurt is the lead Russian detective, Brian Dennehy his American counter part, Joanna Pacula a fem fatal, Alexander Knox an old Russian general, and Lee Marvin still a badass at 60. A little too dry, a little too slow, and I did not buy the love story. Mostly interesting for its depictions of period Soviet domestic life. **1/2
