Stands tall among most war time movies!

Rating: Null/10 (26 January 2011)

This movie definitely tops my list of war-time movies. My absolute favorite. Great package of everything - story, screenplay, direction, acting, casting, background music, cinematography. Watched it in star movies some five years ago without any clue of what its in store. I must say I was just glued to the TV set. When it got over.. I was like "wow! what a movie!"
Vasilli zaitsev is not only courageous, fearless and possesses razor- sharp focus but also a very intelligent sniper. Each encounter of his with the enemy sniper simply deserves an applause for the way he uses his presence of mind and outsmarts the enemy. I feel thats the main reason why this movie is so engaging and different. Unlike other war movies this one revolves around only one soldier most of the times. His valour and brilliance is all what the movie is about. Jude law pulls it off in style.
The supporting casts add power to the movie. Outstanding war scenarios give the needed momentum. All in all its a must see piece. Go watch it now to enjoy this great work!
