I found this to be a well produced yarn. My only gripe was the mad idea by some producer or other to dub over the Russian actors, while subtitling the german tank crews.
Not only was it dubbed, it was appaling cod americaneese with unrussian responses like "Sir, yes sir!"
Perhaps they weren't russian tank crews at all, maybe the Soviet army was made up of navy seals. One russian even said to another "just you cool it". Was the dubbing crew drunk or just vandals.
I nearly deleted my sky rental of this movie because of this but stuck with it as it is a tight, if unlikely thrilling yarn.
As a War-Thunder player, it makes me so excited. But as a movie watcher, it can not be considered as a good movie for me. However, this movie is not bad for common watchers. Complete story,plump characters and real tanks!!! What can be better than this! So if you are a tank enthusiast or War-Thunder player, please, you must watch it. If you have a little interest in tank or WWII, I also advise you to have a try, believe you will not be disappointed after finishing it
This was a thoroughly enjoyable WW II movie, with excellent acting, direction and special effects.
The story is about the struggle of a brave and determined Russian tank commander and his handful of men, and a courageous woman he met in a Nazi POW camp. A single Russian T-34 tank has to get past multiple German Tiger tanks for the group to survive.

The plot is far fetched, but the action is great. Some of the best chase scenes in cinematic history. It reminds me of the original gone in 60 seconds, only with tanks. Explosive action.
This film is quite remarkably the best I have seen from Russia in the recent years. Despite negative reviews from Hollywood film hardened fans who always perceive russia as a poor 'money laundering' state, this film does more than just prove them wrong by presenting stellar filming technique and a very different Point of View.
