GamerTab That was an excellent one.
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
anubhavchakrabortya 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.
muvi-fan-73 My top favorite "sniper" movies in the order are, 1) Shooter, 2) Enemy at the gates and 3) American Sniper. I am penning down this review after watching American Sniper. Enemy at the gates and American Sniper both are inspired from real events. The later gains more in its account by critics, despite being similar is maybe because of Clint Eastwood, the respect that he has earned through ages. When it comes to me, Enemy at the gates aces.It is shown how a Soviet sniper coming from a background of being peasant becomes a hero and inspiration for its people in war. It is also shown how a special sniper belonging to German army it's sent to take care of the business of our hero (Soviet sniper). It's shown how his colleague, a new found love interest and a child move into his (Soviet sniper) world during this war.Final verdict: What steals the show is the intense drama and the game of, hide n seek that goes on between the two snipers. It's worth adding to your collection.
farah_x100 But their accents ruined it..Almost stopped watching after 10 minutes because a Russian Shepherd with a London accent was such a joke! Bob Hoskins as a Russian high command was definitely not believable.
felsa 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.
