...Through the friend of a friend, Gabita has secured the name of someone who'll do the job: the ironically named Mr. Bebe (Vlad Ivanov). She is afraid of meeting him herself, so she sends Otilia on the errand. Mr. Bebe is an imposing fellow: solidly built and radiating macho menace.

There's a reason the Rock and Vin Diesel haven't filled the gap left by Schwarzenegger and Stallone: nobody minds the gap.
