    if you can get passed the terrible dub...

    Itunes only sold the english dub version with i didn't see until after i bought it. Russians speaking with cartoon american accents... i mean this is 2021... listening to russians speaking english is bad enough can't they at least have russian accents? Or at least not terrible american ones that sound like they are from a 1980s kung fu movie? The movie is great when they are not talking. Watch the original language and subtitles if you don't want to hate this movie and love it instead. Seriously.

    Could have been a good movie.

    It has good characters and an interesting subject. The war scenes are professional taken with explosions and soldiers flying through the air when that happens. So far so good. But the story is boring in long parts and through the hole time - except the battle scenes - the music tries to ballance the weak dialogues; tries to make them more interesting. Most of the time the movie drips from patriotism and has less scenes to point out the fears of war. The soldiers are unrealistic motivated, no weakling, no coward. It's a black and white scenario. Here the good, there the bad. It's a one dimensional drawing of the.incidences. There is no bad russian in this movie, but all bad people are on the other side. Underlined with dozends of cheesy patriotic expressions.

    It had the chance to be something special, just because of the professional making. But the nerve killing cheese score blew it. And of course the weak dialogues. Sorry for the actors. They seem to have tried their best.

    Excellent WWII Depiction

    Superb action. Very well acted. Realistic war activity as regards methods and missions. Very highly recommended. Cannot go wrong with this movie.

    Pretty Good

    First, the production quality is really top notch. Very impressive camera work too 10/10 Set 10/10 Second, cast is good and believable. Acting is above average 7/10. Chemistry between the leads is 8/10.

    Third, fight sequences are gritty and gripping. You just don't know whats about to happen next 9/10.

    Fourth, there are some trope elements but it's alright and forgivable 6/10.

    Won't comment on the historical accuracy but the attention to detail of the props, tanks, artillery, outfits was nice. Very professional. Now there's some love angle here and there, but these are kids who went to war! Most of their behaviour also seems justified because of this fact. It's a slightly dark movie in it's overall tone of colour grading as well as the mood.

    Overall, recommended.

    Easily a one time watch.

    It is not your regular blockbuster...

    Even though I was not impressed with the dialogues and some rather overdone depiction of the soviet era characters (however, they did exist), I would prefer this movie over some cr*p like "Fury"(2014), where "cool dude" like Brad Pit almost wins WWII, killing elite German military by hundreds)) You wouldn't find anything like that in the long line of the Russian military movies. If you expect a hollywood style flick - don't bother. If you want to learn some REAL history about WWII - watch it.

    Russians know a thing or two about WWII, since they fought the whole Europe and won.

    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Goofs
      A 47mm shell misses a German tank, taking out 3 Germans in the process. The 47mm anti-tank guns used by the Soviet Union did not have explosive armor-piercing shells; they used armor-piercing shot which would not have been able to kill men unless with a direct hit. NOTE: This is false. In 1941 Soviet 45mm (not 47mm) anti-tank shells did have a small explosive component. It was not solid shot.
