That's how "Harry" is usually transliterated into Russian.

Actually, since there is no equivalent to the "H" in Cyrillic, they use the "ghe" instead. That's why the Soviet mission to Venus and Halley's Comet in 1986 was called "Vega". :ussr: :eng101:

No, the movie is actually a sequel to Collateral; after Jamie Foxx rises from lowly taxicab driver to POTUS, Tom Cruise comes back for revenge:

I liked that trailer. Why? Because it wasn't packed to the brim with an insane, oversweeping Hans Zimmer-esque score.

It was dire and bleak and reflected the seriousness of the situation(s) that were happening.

Based on the trailer and this poster, they are really trying to make it seem like 'Drive' or some gritty drama with intense action scenes.
After seeing the film, oh boy, people are in for a treat. Not a tasty one with those expectations. The backlash could be worse than with the people who thought Drive was going to be like Fast and The Furious. drat.

Would you still recommend it on the catch that it's nothing like the marketing?

Sure. I appreciated what the director was trying to do with the triptych form but the last act wasn't as compelling as it should have been. It is kind of heavy and slowburn, but at least it is that with great actors, tense scenes and nice cinematography. The score is pretty good too, it gives the film a really unique feel at times, with the sweet piano theme from the trailer appearing at certain moments.
It's hard to talk about the film in depth without spoiling some major stuff so I recommend seeing it without any info beyond the trailer.

Isn't the kha very similar to the H sound? I've only just began learning Russian, so this is a bit confusing to me. I know they tend to substitute an H with ghe, but I'm not sure why.

No, Х is not very similar to the "h" sound. Х is more like the "ch" sound in "loch" or in "Bach". (The voiceless velar fricative vice the voiceless glottal fricative.) That said, while older loan words like "галлюцинация" (hallucination) uses the "ghe", newer loan words like "хобби" (hobby) do use the "kha". Even then, хобби does not sounds like exactly like hobby.

(I'm going to start avoiding using a "H" in this context, since that can be confused with the Cyrillic letter "Н" which is similar to the Latin "N") :psyduck:

Well, like I said in my reply to Zeppelin Insanity, the Cyrillic "Н" looks identical to the Latin "H" while meaning two different types of letters, "n" and "h" respectively. Furthermore, other Cyrillic letters look like Latin letters but mean completely different letters. "С" is an "S", "В" is a "V", "Р" is an "R"... and so on.

So, just printing the name in English could be potentially confusing.

And Russian handwriting gets things even more weird. :psypop:

He did the Japan thing during the 1980s back when I was still collecting X-Men, and it seemed pretty dumb. This must be before they decided to make him into a character from Highlander.
