This movie is not historically accurate,the sniper rifles are laughable - the scope setup on the Russian rifle is mounted in a totally different spot than the original ww2 variants. The Germans sniper rifle has a Russian scope setup on it. That alone ruined the movie for me historically wise. Bad effects and somewhat corny. If your talking about entertainment and great effects, Enemy at the gates beats this hands down. The movie is more on the comedy side if you will call it that. In fact some former real female Soviet snipers who fought in ww2 were not happy with this movie,especially how they show the women walking around in skirts. To sum it up,this movie is not historically accurate what so ever,The effects are very bad. This is why I gave it 3 stars
