    Who are the enemies?

    At last a real good Russian war movie, about the Great Patriotic War, a subject rarely close to real, actual events. There are batches of garbage propaganda stuff, where the Germans are always shown as idiots - idiots who provoked more than 25 millions deaths among the Russian population.....Here, the focus is on the Political Commisars, the Politrouks, who killed anyone who hesitated to fight. This point of view was rarely spoken in Russian movies. In this film, the enemy is maybe more them than the Germans. Political commissars and their bloodthirsty decisions, who ordered the deaths of thousands of soldiers only to take a simple hill. For Staline and his gang, the human life of their own fellows was nothing. They were more than Germans; one Nazi for one hundred Russians. An unbalanced fight. I have always found weird and not logical that people defending their life, freedom and homeland - the Russians - needed Political commissars to prevent them to desert.....The Nazis did not in Russia; maybe for obvious reasosn though. Where a deserter would have been, among the "Untermenschen", slavic "under men'; they were safer in the middle of their own "kameraden'...So, to summarize, I highly recommend this feature.

    9/10

    What make the difference between russians war movies and american ones is beside in russian movies plays actors like actors no thirsty for money inferior formes of life.the fact all russian war movies are inspired by real events who realy take place, not like in american movies all crapy fictions like their contribution to the defeating of Germanyin WW2.

    One of the very best WWII movies!!

    I think when making the war movies, especially the WWII movies, the Russian movie industries is the very best, then the South Korean. Sorry, Hollywood is even worse than the Chinese movie makers. But the Chinese movies got a propaganda problem which is seriously censored by the CCP government. The modern Russia, on the contrary, when they made movies about WWII, besides to portray how bravely the Russian soldiers and the common citizens fought against the Nazi Germany invasion, they also used the opportunity to mock the ridiculous Soviet Russia's tight control of their military forces, like the CCP now controls everything. If you watch this movie, you would find such cynical mockery to their former Soviet Communist Party's stupidity. It asked the Russian soldiers to fight for their motherland, but at the same time, punishing those who were against their cruel communist policies.

    I absolutely agreed with what the sole review said about this movie, this movie indeed captured me the whole time. The battle scenes are top notched directed, acted, edited, even the music is perfectly synchronized and so relevant with the battle scenes and all the situations. This movie is indeed one of the Best 2nd World War movies. Strongly recommended.

    I also would like to recommend the following classic Russian movies for you; they are all great movies, most are about WWII:

    Ballad of A Soldier (1959), The Forty-first (1956), The Cranes Are Flying (1957), Battle for Sevastopol (2015), Zvezda (The Star) 2002, The Tank Battalion (1991), Andrei Rublev (1966), Battalion (2015), Blizzard of Souls (The Rifleman) 2019, Fortress of War (2010)

    TOP 10 WWII !!

    Some of the best I've seen in WWII movies.

    A real gem, a feast for connoisseurs of the subject and a well-deserved tribute to the fallen Russians who gave their lives to stop the German advance into the USSR.
