A corrupted cop is trying to convince the detective on the case to take the 200.000 dollars bribe from a criminal, in order to turn a blind eye, and plant a gun in the home of an innocent.

The detective refuses, and the next day the cop finds out the detective was beat to a pulp,being in a coma,with little chance of survival.

He and his colleague, another corrupt cop, take the gun from the criminal and are given the picture, name and address of the scapegoat.

They go to his place, and while one of them follows him, the other gets inside the house, planting the gun.

Our lead follows him, and sees he has a sick brother, with a very rare disease, that is most of the time hospitalized whom he has to take care of.

This doesn't strike a chord in any of them, as they proceed.

 

They raid the house of these two under the orders of their superior ,another corrupt cop. They take the scapegoat to the police, trying to make him confess to a crime he didn't commit.

The kid tells them he'll sign a confession only if the real k1ller (who was seen by ten people k1lling the victim) will pay him the amount of money his brother needs for hospital care for the 6 years he'll be imprisoned.

The criminal is not impressed, and asks the corrupt cops to take him to one of his handlers, who threaten him with k1lling his brother in front of him, so he writes a confession.

I personally watched the movie because of my favorite actor, Pyotr Fyodorov.He only appears for like, 5 to 10 minutes, at the beginning.

The lead doesn't have any problem with what he's doing,saying he needs the money,even though his wife keeps on complaining about what he's doing, saying it's dirty money, made while helping the criminals escape and putting innocents in jail. He has a change of heart when he hears his wife got in a car accident trying to get to the hospital, as she was in labour pains.

I don't know why the movie is called "one real day", as the movie doesn't take place in one day, but in at least a week.

The actors were good.

The soundtrack was good, I liked the last song which closes the movie as the credits roll.

You can watch the full movie here,for free,but it doesn't have subtitles, just the auto generated ones which aren't so bad :
