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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

I know quite a few Russians in Florida and I have to say a great percentage of them are involved with the mob or in shady dealings of some sort. My friend employee's a lot of them in his construction business - they are great carpenters. While most of those guys may not be mob, you wouldn't want your daughter dating them. They are grown men who drink until falling down, fight everyone in the bars and their weekend is not complete unless they are being bailed out Monday Morning. I ask him and others if there are any regular Russians ad he said some of their wives are nice people. Even the store owners do all kind of shady dealings on the side. I'm not exaggerating when I say this. I have asked ones I have known well and they say you had to be in Russia or you wouldn't survive. Everyone deals with the black market to stay afloat. Its their way of life. The Russian mob is big in Florida. They own half the strip clubs and they operate their mob doings out the clubs.They are big in Credit Card Fraud also.
Its just the facts.

Oh, political correctness eh? They are an "off limits" protected class that can't be fictional bad guys in movies huh? Has someone been "offended"? Oh dear, call the press, someone else has been offended, what will we ever do.
Ban Air Force One, pull it from the shelves. It is full of "anti Russian" hate. Bring up the writers and directors on hate crime charges. Someone else has been offended. Scratch another word or topic of your list of things you can say or do lest someone get offended. We can't stand for that.

You said it yourself, Russian mobsters do exist so whats wrong with using them as the bad guys in movies? FYI they use Asians and hispanics and African Americans many times too.

Native is defined as a person born in a region you beep moron. anyone born in the united states of america is a beep native you twat.

@Dejay, the so-called native Americans were originaly from Asia. So they too immigrated to the US. Facts are good.

@Fiero
The Russians have no one to blame but themselves? What a moronic, ignorant generalization. Should we say all Ethiopians brought hunger onto themselves? No, it's only okay to generalize white nations, huh! Moron.

You believe what you hear so if the gov't has control of the media, what else can happen but to believe the propaganda? Last I heard, Russia's in a real state of decay and corruption, but there's not a lot that can be done from within! I agree Russians are easy to demonize, but it's brought on by their actions so they have no one to blame but themselves! The US is not much better and our media only goes so far in exposing our improprieties abroad and within! There are few places you can escape how bad things are and will continue to be!

and very many native born, white Americans
They're not native born. All immigrants except the native americans!
I still can't grasp though why the majority of Russians actually support Putin. I get it he is brilliant and democracy in the west isn't doing too good either. But they must be stupid to choose to go back to dictatorship?

Russians are convenient bad guys for movies because they're white, they don't complain about how they're portrayed, and no one is going to cry about being offended if Russians are portrayed as evil.
Whereas if you make a movie depicting Arabs as bad guys or terrorists you'll never hear the end of the whining about stereotypes. Likewise, you can no longer have Asian criminal gangs in movies, or Mexican drug cartels. If you want to have bad guys and not deal with people crying about being offended, then you go with Russian or vaguely Slavic types, and no one complains.

They are not demonizing Russians.. They are demonizing the Russian mafia which is considered to be among the most dangerous in the world. These same type movies are made about Colombian Cartels and Mexican crime families as well. If you are not apart of the Russian mafia I don't see why you are so offended.

Is there a radical islamist mafia working in USA they could have used in this film?
