Featured reviews
This is the perfect example of excellent film making on a low budget.
Rather appropriate story displaying the bravery and courage of the Ukrainian fighters - that of which the Russians will never match.
Top notch camerawork, excellent acting and the pacing of the film keeps you engaged.
Yet another victory for Ukraine.

Doesn't that remind you another movie, where a Russian sniper was trying to wipe out his nemesis, a Nazi sniper? It was then Jude law vs Ed Harris who played those opponents and it took place during WW2, in a movie directed in 2001 by Jean Jacques Annaud...I won't name it, you all know which film it is about, and it is more than obvious that the Ukrainian movie which I review now is inspired by this 2001 one. This time, the Russians are shown as the Nazis and the Ukrainians as the "former" Russians, who, strangely NOW, in 2022-2023, accuse Ukrainians to be themselves Nazis.... Plus lead by a Jewish !!!!!
So that said this war movie is one of the first describing this gruesome war. It is tough, rough, gritty, riveting. It is a hit in the face. A true gem.

Maybe that movie is not truly documental but it's close to what really happened and it's even more close to what we Ukrainian really feel.
All bad rate from russian b..tards😉

Ignore the negative hit pieces reviews that are clearly political coloured.
IMHO and simply taking this as a straightforward movie without any political consideration, it does it's job really well. None of the emotionally fraught moments of the journey are over dramatized. Nothing is swelled on so there is a constant sense of progression yet nothing is rushed. Attention to detail is good and the acting and cinematography are both strong.
If you like war films and particularly ones with a Sniper focus or element, and you do not have strong political views over Ukraine vs Russia I think you will thoroughly enjoy this film.

Snipers shooting foreign invaders trying to steal their country throughout the movie.
Loved every moment of the movie 9/10. I truly Hope for a part 2 coming out soon.

- TriviaThis gritty and evocative film follows a physics teacher in the Donbas region who suffers a family tragedy at the hands of invading Russian troops. The ex-pacifist joins the army as an unconventional sniper determined to gain revenge and defend the future of his country.
It was created with support from the Ukrainian State Film Agency, was co-written by Mykola Voronin - the real-life sniper whose story is portrayed - and features about 100 members of the Ukrainian armed forces and national guard. Even aside from those career military personnel, several of the main cast members are currently fighting on the front lines.
