i saw no gates. much less an enemy standing outside

Rating: 5/10 (23 May 2002)

I find films that bend history to suit their storyline mildly annoying. The eastern front was anything but a war of heroes and a film that concentrates on a couple of snipers having a showdown in Stalingrad not only loses touch with historical facts but lacks focus entirely. This is the moulin rouge of war films. Plus the title is totally irrelevant to the film itself.
Nice sceneries though.
