content: I thought that someone trying to make a period film would do at least some reading about the period and/or the historical events. Boy, I was wrong. The creators' ignorance is amazing. I bet they did not even bother to speak to any person knowledgeable about the WW 2 or Red Army. Most of the plot and relationships (except the snipers' scenes) is simply unbelievable, irritatingly irrational, and historically wrong to the extent of grotesque and farce.Sure, there is occasional decent acting and some special effects, though the effects are much less convincing than those in much older "Saving Private Ryan" or "Black Hawk Down." If you have seen those two great movies, you will not like this one. Avoid at all cost!
