The SF Gate reports the new Gerard Butler film, Hunter Killer, has been blocked from release in Russia.
Not because it's a bad movie - but because it criticizes Russian politics.
The film is about an American submarine captain teaming with U.S. Navy Seals in order to rescue the Russian president from an attempted coup.
The screening of the movie was suddenly and unexpectedly blocked in Russia and Ukraine ahead of its planned release on Thursday.
According to a report from Agence-France Presse the film may have been banned due to its content.
The Russian Cultural minister said the only copy of the film received by the distribution company was ?of an insufficient quality.?
