Enemy at the Gates (2001)

Did you people see the same film I saw?

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Another marvel of the WW2. After watching so many war movies this was one of a kind. A story told from the Russian point of view. Germany had reached Stalingrad and breaching Stalingrad would mean the end for Russia and that time they found their ace sniper who guns down the German officers one by one.But German could not take it and brings their major who was the best the world had seen . What happens next is the series of hide and seek to kill the other.

A Russian and a German sniper play a game of cat-and-mouse during the Battle of Stalingrad. An excellent film about War and Skills but also one that benefits from excellent perfomances from Ed Harris, Jude Law, Ron Perlman, Bob Hoskins and Rachel Weisz. The movie might not please everyone as a whole especially fans of Saving Private Ryan or We Were Soldiers but it packs some good things and some nice emotions for a War film plus Ed Harris demise? is a moment of respect and good direction along with great acting in a film that benefits from all that. (10/10)

Here at IMDB's reviwers tons over if the story is accurate or not,war is which we known is worst thing,the siege from nazi at Stalingrad was bloody as hell in fire and ice,moreover every legend has a bit of true,the reds doesn't likes heroes,so according some sources they erased some facts,Annaud is a great director with a huge credibility along the way,the picture is well done,the sniper's story is a little fanciful,then looking for Private Ryan,Pearl Harbor and countless war movies propaganda that don't differ too much,both sides have their skeletons in the closet...for me a fine and interesting story which absorbs you during the picture!!Resume:First watch: 2018 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 9

OK, its not a bad movie, don't get me wrong, but its too much Hollywood for what really happened at Stalingrad, and the other thing, its quite ridiculous to hear Russian commanders speaking in English, if you are doing an historic war film on which you spend millions of dollars, the least thing you could do its to hired Russian and German actors.
