An Amazing piece of work

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2005)

A friend who knows I enjoy period pieces recommended this flick to me, and I was spellbound..
Despite knowing the obvious outcome, I found I was captivated by the performances.. I feel like I was a fly on the wall witnessing history as it unfolded. It was chillingly macabre, and yet I felt a certain need to watch as the end of National Socialism grew ever closer..
This ranks in the top three or four films that made me feel like I was there.. The other WWII flicks include Das Boot, Private Ryan and Enemy at the Gate.. It will find it's way into my permanent collection of WWII genre films
