Artistically mediocre and with many historical incorrections.

Rating: 7/10 (19 May 2006)

A powerful story, realistic content, the usual stereotypes, bad screenplay with many historical incorrections, an audience biased adaptation of the story undermining any artistic ambitions. Romanticised and even with the usual car pursuit and sex scene (even if totally neutral for the stories' sake) this story is clearly a consumer product. I think they must be part of some «secret» American checklist. Are «cars and girls» a central element in the Stalingrad battle? Artistically (and art must make a statement) what is point of broculae in a movie about a «chef»? And what might it's relevance be in a war movie? Artistically nil as the screenplay and the realization might be it's a nice entertaining film on a subject where it would take far worse a work to make a boring movie.
P.S. In every movies American have to crash a car and strip a woman. How creative.
