The producers of this film need to be given credit for excellent costume and set designs. While it is a fictionalized account of a famous moment within the battle of Stalingrad it clearly shows what people can and will do in a moment of crisis. The battle itself was epic and has long been recognized by historians at the true turning point of WWII with a clear victory of Stalin's version of Communism over Hitler's version of National Socialism. This was a world where victory was far more important than the sacrifices needed to achieve that victory. As Stalin said, the death of a man was a tragedy, the death of a million a statistic. That raw power drove millions of Russian men and women to sacrifice everything for Mother Russia. And I think this movie plays out that theme very well. It's definitely not for everybody. If you like fairy tale endings watch something like War Horse. This movie is more in line with movies like Paths of Glory and All Quiet on the Western Front. 74 years removed from this watershed event it probably difficult to appreciate the message of this movie. That is the blessing our their sacrifice.Read full review

Movie is entertaining from a war movie point of view, but has a really dumb plot.. The voice overs are not very well done in my opinion. BUT all in all if you like war movies it's a pretty good one!

This is NOT an American made film. The script is over dubbed I never got over that fact. Fighting scenes are OK. I was hoping for a more historical portrayal and was disappointed with the plot and distracted with the over dubbing. I just found "Walking with the Enemy." A much better film to watch about WW2 and the Holocaust.
