It's the Russian MAFIA, ofcourse they are bad guys. Doesn't mean all Russians are like this.

So you admit there are nasty Russian gangsters but they shouldn't be portrayed in films? Okay.
What we got here is failure to communicate!

Why not? There's been a lot of brutality in Russia for ages.

The reasons the Russian mob have become a popular subject are:

1. the Chinese triads have been overworked, and
2. so have Islamic extremists.

Yeah and Russian Mafia are a relatively recent phenomenon in the US having mostly come about after the fall of the Soviet Union.
Just because I'm not on THEIR side, doesn't mean I'm on YOURS.

Hmmm. Those films depict Russian Gangsters. Gangsters is the key word here. Quit being so sensitive.
So, going by your complaint, all of these films are saying all Russians are like this. Let me askdo you jump to ridiculous conclusions with everything?
I'm sure glad that when I watched Grumpy Old Men I didn't lose my mind and start screaming at the screen "stop picking on old people."
I'll never understand why people watch a film which depicts a particular group and they think it encompasses everyone.
Again, quit being so sensitive.
I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Russians are a downtrodden people led by thugs (Putin, e.g.) and preyed upon by criminals.
For an action movie, using them as murderers and thieves is effective shorthand and allows the story to focus on their elimination.

They are just convenient bad guys. Somehow nobody gets offended when somebody is killing Russians. Also, these movies make people believe that the are more Russian mobsters than there actually are.
