Devyataev

V2. Escape from Hell (2021) is a war action thriller movie co-directed by Timur Bekmambetov and it follows the story of a captured Soviet pilot faithful to his childhood friends and leads an escape from a German concentration camp and then suffer from communist crimes. This movie was a first time watch for me and it was good.

Positives for V2. Escape from Hell (2021): The story is interesting and it makes sense that it would be made into a movie. The acting from the cast is good. The action sequences are brutal and directed very well. This feels like a traditional war movie that shows the brutality of war. And finally, I have to give credit to Bekmambetov for actually trying to make another good movie.

Negatives for V2. Escape from Hell (2021): This movie feels standard with the execution of the story. I didn't really care for any of the characters. The movie is going through the motions of a war movie. And finally, I still have a hard time with foreign language movies that aren't from Japan.

Overall, V2. Escape from Hell (2021) is a good war movie from Timur Bekmambetov and one of his better made movies and it has me kinda excited to watch his next movie coming out in January.

Do not ignore it because it is made of Russia. It is one of the best war movie about WW2 I have ever seen.

BTW, the story looks like another Russian war movie T-34, which is also good, but this movie is much better than T-34.

Timur Bekmambetov has never been very good, and this movie shows it.

First 10 minutes I thought it was an ad for the movie, not the actual film. The story is great, but executed so poorly, too bad. If you just want the story watch it, but don't pay attention at how it's made, better yet, just read it.

Great performance of the actors, wonderful screenplay, astonishing effects and air combat scenes! The story of the legendary Soviet hero pilot Michail Dewjatajew deserves a director from the caliber of Timur Bekmambetov. I had to order the dvd 📀 from overseas, because it is surprisingly not available in the country, where I reside. I worthed absolutely the effort. I saw it already more than once. That movie has a special place in my collection. It would be much better to have the chance to watch it on a big 📺 screen. The generations to come should know about the heroic actions of people like Dewjatajew.

You know, at least I didn't spit from this movie, like from "Rzhev" or "Red Ghost". In general, the film is watchable, and not even for one time. Visual - shocked. The script of course distorted the real feat of Mikhail Devyataev and his group, because many facts of his biography are contradictory and some are still unknown. There are big problems with logic, the structure of the narrative is a bit ragged. A serious problem is Priluchny, who does not fit the role of Devyataev in any way, outwardly (this is one) and in the manner of speech (this is two). Its maximum is a major. By the way, the film has sound problems when the viewer does not hear what the characters are saying. The message and ideas of the film raise serious questions. I'm not talking about the hidden and obvious atnisovetchin, the evil NKVD officer, the Gulag and other charms that have long become stable stamps. The mat is out of place, because the age limit of the film is "12 +". On May 9, this film should not be shown, otherwise the surviving veterans will curse the director and the whole team, and of course the channel "Russia 1" that invested in the production of this movie. You need to watch the film only after studying all the available materials about the real escape of Devyataev, and do not believe the film, because there is much more fiction in it than real facts.

My rating is 5 out of 10. Look only at your own risk.
