nearly a classic but so annoying!!!

Rating: Null/10 (18 January 2002)

I have read so much about WWII, especially about Stalingrad &' Barborossa' but guess what it wasn't the Americans, bending history to suit that annoyed me this time, it was Jude Law & Bob Hoskins! A red army 'sniper' with a cockney accent & a red army general addressing his troops with the same dialect! Ok so it's an English speaking hollywood film but not even an attempt at a 'dodgy' Russian accent! Having said that a good action film, superbly shot but could have been so much better but for the fact that realism was abandoned for ' american audiences ', perhaps?
