I just liked the "calm before the storm", when Vasili was riding on the train to Stalingrad.

i thought the accents were hilarious. and casting Bob Hoskins as Kruschev...genius.
not a bad film though. Ed Harris is usually very believable.

Pretty decent movie. Especially the starting scene was spectacular, and Rachel (forgot last name) is a beauty of course. Still, I felt it was lacking something, the characters were a bit bland.

I liked it. I wonder how many movies America has made about World War II that don't have any American characters in them? In that sense I think it's a very good move recognizing that the war wasn't won in just Normandy.

I think it was a British film with Hollywood backing or something like that.

Could very well be; I haven't really looked into it. That'd make the broader worldview a little less surprising, but still a good thing I think.
