So I managed to get my hands on a copy of the mafia movie, and we held an impromptu live screening over the Internet last night. I'm willing to do more screenings, but be advised - the movie is in Russian, and there are no subtitles. As soon as I can get subs or a dubbed copy, I'm happy to run that.
Meanwhile, here's some actual info on the movie, between our screening and a review I found and translated with Google Translate.
THE PREMISE
Moscow. 2072. Starting the 57th season of the TV show "Mafia", whose ratings have fallen steadily in recent years. 11 volunteers came to the game to compete for the grand prize - 1 billion rubles. The money will go to either the Mafia, or the surviving town players. The prize will be divided in equal proportions between the winners.
I WANNA WATCH IT!
Let me know. We'll see what we can do.
THE CAST - (I could include the names of the actors, but do you care? Instead I'll note which player in the community they were assigned to.)
The Psychologist - Kaz Hirai
Prior to the game's beginning, the psychologist interviews every subject to find out what the are most afraid of. This leads into their executions when they are lynched/night killed.
Vladimir - RetroMG
A former military officer who suffers PTSD over the loss of his men.
FATE:
Luke - Crab
Has been a billionaire for 85 years. Has a passion for gambling, which has helped build his fortune. Has numerous children who don't seem to like him very much.
FATE:
Cyril - Sorian
Not a lot of backstorian for Sorian. He's a governmental dissident of some kind, according to the review.
FATE:
Larissa - Swamped
A once-successful business woman who became an alcoholic as a result of the death of one of her children, possibly due to another player.
FATE:
Maria - YesNOnoNOYes
A once famous ballet dancer who lost the use of her legs in a car accident. Now wants to win the money to replace her legs with robot legs. (I'm not making this up.)
FATE:
Peter - Ourobolus
Is hopelessly in love with Maria/YNNNY, and came to the game to be by her side.
FATE:
Krivoy - Squidy
A prisoner. He's not interested in the prize money - if he survives, he'll be released from prison.
FATE:
Elijah - StanleyPalmtree
An engineer suffering from terminal cancer - Wants the money so his family will be cared for.
NOTE: This character was barely in the trailers, and we didn't even know about him until last night. Stanley claimed him during the screening, which is perfect, as we also didn't know about Stan when the trailer came out.
FATE:
Katerina - ScraftyDevil
A mysterious young woman who grew up in an orphanage and wants to know about her past. Knew Cyril/Sorian prior to the game.
FATE:
Constantine - Blargonaut
A "Black Messenger" - A consultant for companies in crisis. We are not told why he joined the game.
FATE:
Vani - Nin1000
A Prisoner who fights to be released from prison. Has a mother who loves him very much.

Vladimir - RetroMG
A former military officer who suffers PTSD over the loss of his men.
FATE:
Lynched third. Goes back to a warzone where he's the battlefield commander watching all of his troops be slaughtered. Finally, he takes the field himself and fights very well, until he runs out of ammo and is killed an a hail of bullets.
Luke - Crab
Has been a billionaire for 85 years. Has a passion for gambling, which has helped build his fortune. Has numerous children who don't seem to like him very much.
FATE:
Survives! He is the final town player. Town loses because it's just him and the last mafia, but he lives and goes home to his horrible children who are horrible.
Cyril - Sorian
Not a lot of backstorian for Sorian. He's a governmental dissident of some kind, according to the review.
FATE:
Survives. Throws himself into another player's execution, but manages to survive it, which somehow ends the game. The ending suggests that he is either a member of the mafia, or possibly that he's addicted to the game and wants to play again. He also loses his hat at one point, but recovers it before the end. UPDATE: New information suggests that he IS town, and is addicted to the game. So... Sorian.
Larissa - Swamped
A once-successful business woman who became an alcoholic as a result of the death of one of her children, possibly due to another player.
FATE:
Second Night Kill. She is put aboard an airplane while it is crashing. It is also heavily implied that the crime Ivan/Nin is imprisoned for involved her child's death.
Maria - YesNOnoNOYes
A once famous ballet dancer who lost the use of her legs in a car accident. Now wants to win the money to replace her legs with robot legs. (I'm not making this up.)
FATE:
Lynched first. She is chased through the woods during a thunderstorm by a sentient bolt of lightning. (Again, not making this up.) She is chased off a cliff, and the lightning hits her in mid-air.
Peter - Ourobolus
Is hopelessly in love with Maria/YNNNY, and came to the game to be by her side.
FATE:
Lynched second. (I think he claims to be Mafia during the first lynch in an effort to save Maria/YNNNY.) He is put in a leaking rowboat in the ocean, surrounded by hungry sharks. He cuts himself, which puts blood in the water. He does manage to kill one shark by stabbing it with a broken oar, but he is unable to make it to shore before the rest of the sharks finish devouring the one he killed. They come for him next.
Krivoy - Squidy
A prisoner. He's not interested in the prize money - if he survives, he'll be released from prison.
FATE:
First night kill. Forced into a gladiatorial arena, where he manages to fight off a bunch of other fighters, winning the respect and love of the crowd in a truly epic fight sequence... before he trips and is speared through the neck by some metal lying on the ground.
Elijah - StanleyPalmtree
An engineer suffering from terminal cancer - Wants the money so his family will be cared for.
NOTE: This character was barely in the trailers, and we didn't even know about him until last night. Stanley claimed him during the screening, which is perfect, as we also didn't know about Stan when the trailer came out.
FATE:
Survives! Well, for now, at least. Still has that whole terminal cancer thing. UPDATE: He is the final mafia. He wins the game by virtue of being one of the last two players. When Mafia and Town have equal numbers, the Mafia win.
Katerina - ScraftyDevil
A mysterious young woman who grew up in an orphanage and wants to know about her past. Knew Cyril/Sorian prior to the game.
FATE:
Final player to be lynched. (No one is able to decide on someone to lynch in the final round, so she is randomly selected.) She manages to survive an encounter with a giant CGI beast out of Bloodborne with Cyril/Sorian's help. She sees a vision of her being taken to the orphanage by her mother, and then goes on to lead a happy life. We think.
Constantine - Blargonaut
A "Black Messenger" - A consultant for companies in crisis. We are not told why he joined the game.
FATE:
Fourth player to be lynched, and the first player to be confirmed as a member of the Mafia. Ironically, Constantine/Blarg places the final vote for himself to be lynched - Typical Blargonaut, voting for himself. While walking through a stairway full of mirrors, he undergoes rapid aging until he dies as an old man. UPDATE: It is also apparently revealed that he joined the game purely to screw it up for others.
Vani - Nin1000
A Prisoner who fights to be released from prison. Has a mother who loves him very much.
FATE:
Third and final Night Kill. Alternates between walking on the beach with his mother, and walking to a firing squad, where he is ultimately shot to death. It is also revealed that the reason he was in prison was because he was in a car with his drunk friends when they crashed, killing multiple people. Vani/Nin was not driving, but the other survivors claimed that he was driving while drunk, and he was sent to prison. It is also implied that Larissa/Swamped's child was in the car with him, and died.
). Glad to see that you tagged the most important spoiler.
We should rename it to *marked spoilers*
