this film deserves my high score, because I watched the behind the scenes and it was fascinating to me. because I discover that to shoot this film was a real experience for all actors. the actors had to believe that they had been through that. and they succeeded corvencer the audience, the characters in the love triangle are friends in private life, this all make easy the papers. the authors had to go through training to learn to use a gun, and the director constructed the scenarios of war on large scales, all this to make the they feel really within the film and the characters. all this together created a great matched expectations

It's a very old fashioned movie. . Like 1940s and 50s American war propaganda movies. The sentimental score is old fashioned. British actors pretending to be Russians in Russia is old fashioned (Bob Hoskins was comically miscast). The love story is old fashioned. I expected something in the tone of Saving Private Ryan. Having said that, I understand why it's a beloved movie. It's entertaining. The tense sniping scenes are very well done. They are the highlight of the movie.

WW2 thriller trough the eyes of 2 sniper on opposite sides. The main cast makes the difference.

The historical context of this film is a trampoline for it in a most ironic fashion. At first, you hear that Vasily Zaytsev was a real sniper and war hero, and the duel really happened, and it seems to prelude a film that will delve into the grittiest realities of the Soviet effort in one of the mos More
