Kalashnikov

In "Kalashnikov (2020)," the intriguing tale of the iconic assault rifle AK-47 and its journey through the Soviet Union unfolds. The film delves into the intricate backstory and technological advancement of this renowned firearm.

However, the portrayal of the AK-47's character feels somewhat one-dimensional, lacking depth. The film occasionally exhibits overt displays of Soviet pride, veering into propagandistic territory and diminishing its overall credibility.

Nevertheless, the scenes depicting the AK-47's testing are undeniably impressive, showcasing the weapon's formidable power and enduring impact.

"Kalashnikov (2020)" offers a captivating perspective on the genesis of a weapon that has left an indelible mark on history, despite some shortcomings in character development and narrative authenticity.

Truth is that I imagined finding myself in front of the thousand times seen pro-Russian propaganda film, full of unrealistic scenes and horrible CGIs. But quite the opposite, it is a solid biopic, without great pretenses, well acted, with costumes and vehicles faithful to the time and with little or no propaganda on it (It is striking that the only negative character in the film is an NKVD soldier). I hope that as it becomes known, its rating will rise.

Its a russian production, and its russian patriotism and agenda, so swallow that pill and hide it in your bile gland, and take part in this neatly made story about mr.khalashnikov, born and raised in kazakhstan, with bloodline to turkmenistan, famous through history for his inventions, mostly weaponry, with semi and full automatic rifles and machineguns giving him most fame.

its also a lovestory, very cliched, and its a humble comedy to those who can take a russian joke for what it is. the cast and especially the main male does a great apperance, but the the whole cast delivers. if you like old locomotives and historic railways, this is like winning the lottery, so great production management and hoice of location.

its a fair biographical drama, with the ideological humps in the road for us living under the nato umprella the last 70 years, ive never held an ak-47, and will probably not, but they say it works like a tank, sturdy and polite. so if you will have a primetime candy then the grumpy old man recommends

I was really looking forward to watching this but every time a character spoke in that cheesy Americanized dialect, it just sucked the life out of it. The production value is amazing and casting is very good and of course the true epic journey of creating the AK 47 is pretty epic. Not sure why they didn't at least use Russian accented English voice actors and keep to the original as-written dialog. I would suggest watching the original Russian language version.

It is been more than seven decades but Avtomat Kalashnikov has stayed as the most popular and widely used in its category. With 200 million assault rifles produced in the 20th century AK 47 became the most recognized weapon. It is an Assault rifle meaning it has Intermediate cartridge and detachable magazine and can be adjusted for semi automatic fully automatic and burst mode.. Every year on an average quarter of a million people die because of the wounds inflicted by AK-47... This is an Interesting insight on how the most infamous weapon came into existence ..it is a story of the perseverance and the passion of a young Soviet man during WWII - Alexander Kalashinkov and his invention AK-47 (the 1947 version). Good cinematography, convincing performances and engrossing story .. however, it fails to capture the war times ..also, the chemistry between the lead characters seems insipid..
