slow, overdone

Rating: 4/10 (16 March 2001)

Almost nothing happens in this movie. Aside from a few powerful battle scenes, the movie is almost two hours of sitting around, waiting for the elusive enemy to show himself in the sniper's sights. The love plotline is cliche and feels tacked on, and not enough of the characters are likeable or memorable. And there are only about three of them. Why do these Russians have British accents? And there's no trace of anything German or Russian about any of the lead characters...underdeveloped story, overdone score, and historical errors.
