Corvo Branco

Doesn't that remind you another movie, where a Russian sniper was trying to wipe out his nemesis, a Nazi sniper? It was then Jude law vs Ed Harris who played those opponents and it took place during WW2, in a movie directed in 2001 by Jean Jacques Annaud...I won't name it, you all know which film it is about, and it is more than obvious that the Ukrainian movie which I review now is inspired by this 2001 one. This time, the Russians are shown as the Nazis and the Ukrainians as the "former" Russians, who, strangely NOW, in 2022-2023, accuse Ukrainians to be themselves Nazis.... Plus lead by a Jewish !!!!!

So that said this war movie is one of the first describing this gruesome war. It is tough, rough, gritty, riveting. It is a hit in the face. A true gem.

Maybe that movie is not truly documental but it's close to what really happened and it's even more close to what we Ukrainian really feel.

All bad rate from russian b..tards😉

This is the perfect example of excellent film making on a low budget.

Rather appropriate story displaying the bravery and courage of the Ukrainian fighters - that of which the Russians will never match.

Top notch camerawork, excellent acting and the pacing of the film keeps you engaged.

Yet another victory for Ukraine.

Who says every movie has to be made with the Hollywood, CGI and Adrenalin Push that creates a virtual reality to make it a money making operation. Nice to see a film with imperfections that make it real to life. Let the viewer develop some ideas of his own for once as opposed to a movie always expressing what we need to think. I feel this movie is better than the Maverick thingy with Cruise.

Ignore the negative hit pieces reviews that are clearly political coloured.

IMHO and simply taking this as a straightforward movie without any political consideration, it does it's job really well. None of the emotionally fraught moments of the journey are over dramatized. Nothing is swelled on so there is a constant sense of progression yet nothing is rushed. Attention to detail is good and the acting and cinematography are both strong.

If you like war films and particularly ones with a Sniper focus or element, and you do not have strong political views over Ukraine vs Russia I think you will thoroughly enjoy this film.
