ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

pesic-1 You would expect, after all these years, a film that tells us something new about the war in Afghanistan, a film that tries to make sense of the various interpretations, a film that perhaps shoots down certain misconceptions, and a film that allows us to make peace with that chapter of history. This film does none of these things. It copies other blockbusters about war, notably the war in Vietnam, and it plays it safe. In every scene, the film tries to please and amaze the audience, but it never touches on anything of real substance, and it never dares to make you feel uneasy - even during the final, bloody battle. And yet it pretends from beginning to end to be some kind of definitive account of the war, that will put things in their right place and tell us what it meant. I see nothing but fancy CGI and cinematography, and action scenes that mean nothing. To be fair, it's an entertaining film, but it's also a complete failure in terms of dealing with the trauma of that war. I actually think it insults the veterans. This is no way to treat that chapter of Russian history.

dankolk Those who write negative reviews about this movie are of course entitled to their opinion, but I think somehow missed the point...it was not meant to entertain...it is to honor and give credits to the young men fighting a useless war and dying for the sake of silly political beliefs. I strongly sympathized with the characters depicted in the movie, and felt truly sad when their lives were lost. The dreams and expectations they had could never be realized. Maybe the movie wasn't completely true to the historic events it is based on, but the essence of the madness of war can hardly be missed by any viewer. If you want to see a raw depiction of war, with realistic acting, go see this movie. 10 out of 10!

aleksandar-petrow-743-878844 I've watched 9 rota over 10 times. 9 rota is the movie that turned my opinion for the Russian war movies. I've never seen better movie about the war in Afghanistan. There weren't heroes, there weren't glory and medals...only pain, caused by political decisions. There weren't even winners and losers...it was a lost war from the beginning till the end. There was a friendship between brothers, difficulties, small victories and fear. All the characters in the movie were brilliant chosen ! The actors played fantastic their roles. Different persons with same destiny...pain and death. Compliments to the producers and directors of the movie, that they showed a realistic point of view to the war...a point of view of the simple man. They could produced heroes and glorious soviet army ! Instead, they made a real masterpiece. Thank you. Your movie is beloved in Bulgaria !

farkas444 This is the best war movie, I have ever seen in my entire life!About characters: Real life people, no Rambos, or Revenging Steven Segals. About the screenplay: Afghanistan. This is the movie, that USA should saw before attacking. I don't know how much spoiler is it, but the best sentence: "In the History, no one have ever conquered Afghanistan. No one." True war, true people, with a lot of heart gripping parts. Good actors, showing the real, less heroic, side of war. Well, this is one movie, that you should see. Maybe you like it, maybe you won't, you should see it. Only one thing I could say: it's worth its price. I think I'll buy it twice.
