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.
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.
Strong points. 1. Film is the 'optimized' version of the old russian movie "Zavoronok", which script -writer was former KV tank commander and WW2 veteran - Orlov . In Germany Orlov heard how the captured soviet crew managed to escape from german tank range . 2. It is about the times when the russians and the americans fought together against common enemy, so no one in the USA will feel uncomfortable to watch it. 3. T-34 used in the movie is the real veteran-tank. 4. Liked the movie because it is about brotherhood and courage, but not about soviet propaganda.
Weak points. Smtms i didn't like CGI. But the movie is damn better than Fury .

I've been waching american movies for 30+ years and i'm sick an tierd of their propaganda. This movie is something new and refreshing. For those who are saying that this is russian propaganda, they are right...So what...at least it's from different angle.
A lot of people are moaning it's propaganda yeah course it is! So is saving private Ryan, Rambo, fury but it's just American propaganda. So chill out and just enjoy it for what it is ! And stop moaning. Oh and for god sake don't watch the dubbed ( I'm guessing for the americans ) have subtitles make it far less painful to watch

- TriviaIn the movie several tanks were filmed, including the real T-34 which was taken down during WWII. To prepare for the film, the tank was restored, including repair of the engine which was brought up to combat status. Also, the 1941 wintertime camouflage was recreated (nicknamed the "winter forest").
